Tina Fey and Colman Domingo hate burrata because “we’re from Philly”
The stars of Netflix's 'The Four Seasons' had a taste-off that revealed some very Philly flavor preferences.
Sitting side by side for a Food & Wine Taste-Off video, Tiny Fey and Colman Domingo bonded over their mutual hate for burrata.
“I still don’t understand burrata — I feel like it doesn’t taste like anything," Domingo said.
“I’m really never getting invited back to Italy; I don’t like burrata either,” Fey laughing.
“We’re from Philly — we don’t understand [it],” Domingo joked.
“I want provolone,” Fey said.
“And some whiz,” he added.
“I want some hard cheese because I know it’s safe,” she added.
The Philly natives star in the Netflix show The Four Seasons, and castmate Will Forte, tried various samples of Italian and American versions of classics like gelato, mozzarella, Nutella, and coffee without knowing which is which and guessing the authentic picks while sharing their opinions along the way.
The comedy series follows three married couples as their quarterly vacation getaways, including Point Pleasant Beach on the Shore and Trento, Italy, are tested when one couple divorces.
“We grew up so geographically close together. I was like on the very edge of the last street in Upper Darby, and across the street was Cobbs Creek Park,” Fey told The Inquirer. And Domingo lived on the other side of the park.
In the Food & Wine video, Domingo and Fey let their Philly roots show during the mozzarella tasting. The two stars decided to share their thoughts about the other round-shaped cheese: burrata.
And Forte also chimed in on the burrata slander.
“Burrata is like when you go to an art museum ... somebody’s put up a painting where they’ve just painted it white and hung it and said ‘This is art,’” he said.
“Burrata’s got a good publicist,” Fey added.
