- Frank Pellegrino, Jr. of Rao’s in NYC shares a classic family recipe: Sunday Gravy. In this version of the iconic Italian-American staple Frank braises 5 varieties of meat in a rich, velvety tomato gravy, then serves it over al dente pasta with plenty of fragrant basil.

I love the fact that a renowned restaurant like Rao's is so open to just sharing their recipes on the internet without any fear of it backfiring on them. They know that nobody is going to have the patience to make it, so just let the recipe out and no one will notice. I think it's great!
Patience to make it? I have to start at 8 or 9 in the morning when making sauce to have it ready around 5. That's basic.
Plus it takes 3 years to get a seat at raos lol
@@americantragedies you don't get a seat...u just gotta know someone that owns a table... u cud get seated at the bar during a week night tho
They can’t possibly host anyone who wants to eat there, so they likely don’t mind. The recipe isn’t exactly the easiest.
My grandmother made this almost the exact same way with the same ingredients every Sunday, the only difference was that she made her meatballs much smaller.
I didn't want to buy into the hype of a $7 jar of Rao's marinara sauce, but it was on sale one time at the grocery store and I said what the hell I'll just try it. It's ridiculously good. Literally like crack. That's how addictive it is. I never looked back and only buy Rao's marinara sauce now.
If you have a costco membership they sell two (28 oz jars each) for around 10-11 dollars.
Little Italy in Cleveland has a sauce too, it's really good, it's nice to try different things once in awhile. Or if your Italian like me you make your own.
@@epasternak4206 Do you ever try different recipes just to switch it up?
I was always religious about never buying jarred sauce. I grew up Italian in north jersey so jarred sauce was the biggest taboo. However I tried it and loved it and now I always have an emergency jar of Rao's for nights when J just want some pasta but too lazy to whip up a sauce.
@@Hard_Labor_And_Fine_Dining I truly believe out of the jar is better than the can.
I read a tomato sauce rating on serious eats a few years ago, that rated Rao's #1. Been buying that brand since then, and loving it. Didn't realize it started as a restaurant.
Me too. Always wondered why it was $7 a jar and saw the restaurant in a movie one day and went OH that's why lol
It's the only jarred sauce I enjoy.
Same mate.
Same here. I had no idea it was a restaurant. It’s the absolute best hat sauce on the market.
Yes I recommend it to everyone I know. It's like crack to me.
It's expensive but it's the only jarred sauce I buy. Totally worth it
Thank you Frank (and Munchies)for a great lesson in making a basic Italian staple. Please come back again and share some more of your families cooking.
This is exactly how my grandma and my mom do it, to the tee. Love seeing the Italian American traditions holding strong
Yes! Rigatoni, meatballs,braciole, and pork! The best food memories for me revolve around this meal.
He has that dry voice and sense of humor and I love it. I love how is still shocked the the meal he knows and loves is still so good to him even through his whole life
Honestly, as someone who doesn't cook often, Rao's sauces are my favorite. I pretty much always have a jar of various sauce, soup and frozen dinners on hand.
It makes me feel, so very happy to see a fellow Italian American who runs one of the most successful restaurants in America represent this dish which us Italian American families still eat every Sunday to this day. At home we eat it, and to see it has people flocking to it in such a big restaurant is such a good feeling. Plus Frank is totally chill, a very classy vibe.
My family makes Sunday gravy almost this exact way, a few small differences, but almost exactly the same. Beautiful.
This is the video I wanted but didn’t know I needed. Their meatball recipe is the best
He seemed genuinely surprised and happy with his results. I understand. It's always wonderful when you put together a dish you know by heart and it still gives you such pleasure even after years of making it. I also want to say this video seemed to have a very nice ,slower pace then normal. No rushing of the cook. This is what I'm sure was HOW his grandmother did her cooks. Much like my own. It will be ready WHEN it's ready and no sooner. Everyone have a great day. 👍🌤😊🌹
Fax bruh there’s something about the first bite of a bowl/plate of pasta after waiting since 9/10 am that’s just godly
Man, that looks fantastic. Real comfort food right there
Bring this guy back for sure.
Yeah I’m sure the owner of rao’s will be available every week
Love Rao’s sauce, we stock up on it,whenever we can
Do they sell at Safeway? I can’t stand most jarred sauces but I want to taste it if it’s good.
I really like this guy's laid-back style! Entertaining and informative!
My family does the same gravy recipe but usually adds wine to deglaze after you sear the meat or adds it during cooking and it adds a extra depth of flavor
The very first cooking trick my mother ever taught me was this: she let me stand on a chair so I could see the stove, and then she let me get a taste of the brown gravy she had going. It was brown gravy, just about my favorite thing for rice OR potatoes. She unscrewed the cap from a bottle of wine, and poured the cap full. She let me add the capful of wine to the gravy, and then let me taste it again. WOW! I could not believe how that simple, tiny capful of wine just utterly changed that gravy. And a cooking nut was born...
I really appreciate the vibe of the chefs that Vice features. Helpful, interesting and knowledgeable.
Always charismatic too
Very reminiscent of my Sundays growing up in Bensonhurst Brooklyn......my grandmother would bottle here own tomato's and my mother would ask me to go down into the basement to get her a few bottles of tomatoes ....to start the Sunday gravy .....
Great video. Nice guy. Glad this is online for us to enjoy.
Rao's Marinara is my go to.... I love to cook, and make sauces. But I always have that in my cupboard for when I need just a small amount of the most delicious marinara sauce to compliment something else. and I just read this morning on a food blog that Rao's ALfredo sauce beat out 9 others. top 10. nice to put a face to the brand, really nice to hear the amazing story behind the restaurant. next time I come to NYC I will plan ahead and hopefully snag one of 10 !!!!! tables. thank you Frank
Its Monday, but next Saturday/Sunday dinner already decided...Fantastic!
rao's roasted garlic sauce is undefeated in my book
I love cooking a rustic style inexpensive meal with my $20k plus watch on my wrist. This guy has an excellent timepiece
Try 80k in today's prices. Hopefully its sauce-resistant.
Looks fantastic. I can’t wait to make this in the next 5 days.
Oh my looks super delicious! 💙
thanks for sharing, I will try this. Happy New Year.
Thanks for sharing this delicious recipe with us
I tried this version of Sunday Gravy for a group of friends awhile back and this man did not miss with any step of the recipe
Been eating the jarred sauce for years now. Love it. I really hope someday I can get into the restaurant; that'd be such a treat.
This has become a family favorite! I just made this tonight for my parents, brothers, nephew, husband and baby girl. I use my homemade tomato sauce but do everything else the same :)
And now I finally know how to pronounce it. It doesn't rhyme with rouse, it's Ray-O's. Nice.
Thank you for the recipes.
This man is cooking with a Patek on his wrist, legend
Glad to see you again, Frank! Thanks for the recipe 👌
Just beautiful! Love the story!
Got this at grocery outlet ! I like making sauce like yours it works with some left over meats too !
He looks a lot like that guy who’s in every climate change/food documentary
Lol Michael Pollan! You’re right, that’s hilarious
Michael Pollan’s long lost Italian brother 😂 that’s so true
Hahah hahahahaha omg omg this is the most fucking hilarious thing ever!!!! Are you Dane cook?
@@florencebastien2162 lmfaooo and that bruh also from Long Island kinda crazy for them to be so close
Ducking hilarious bruh thinking the same shit
Italian American soul food. Looks spectacular.
For anyone interested, there is a raos in Hollywood if anyone wants to eat at the restaurant. Used to work there.
Thought he would be more stereotypically Italian American, serves me right! Love his Rao’s cookbook, he’s absolutely brilliant.
Rao's is a solid sauce.
Wow now we get to make this at home! Thanks 🙏
like me
Your Grandmother would be very proud! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I will be making this today ❤️
What a lovely, calm dude....
my hubby adds everything Rao's does for meatballs but he also adds finely diced carrot, celery, onion and that makes them super juicy. Also, one of his Christmas gifts this year was Rao's cookbook LUCKY ME
He probably does the same but he doesn't show it it was a guy is makes steak sandwiches by my house said the secret formula is olive oil salt pepper and oregano when he doesn't tell you and I seen him put it on with lemon juice
I have a secret - Rao’s makes the best jarred sauce on the market. It doesn’t taste like it’s jarred in the least. Italian-Americans are SUPER picky about sauce - I’m a Brooklyn born, full blooded Sicilian myself - but Rao’s is in a whole other class. Their marinara is a dupe for my late grandma’s recipe. Extremely convenient when you don’t have time to make it from scratch.
how dare you insult your grandma like that
Hi, I’m trying to duplicate this marinara sauce at home. Just from the ingredients listed on the label, mine didn’t quite look and taste like RAO’s. Any suggestions?
I lived on 114th (same block as Rao's) for a few years when I first moved to NYC. I never saw anyone from the neighborhood eat there. It was mostly black chauffered cars pulling up every weekend.
This guy is super calming to listen to
OMG I'm less than 3 minutes in and I'm loving these stories !!!!!
GREAT EDUCATION -THANK YOU ! I HAVE BEEN TO RAO’S AND BUY THE BOTTLED SAUCES ! ALL GREAT
Amazing opening love this dude already
I love rao's sauce ❤❤🤗
Thank you for showing this meat gravy.
Just like home. My favorite memories were waking up on Sunday mornings to the smell of fried garlic and onions and all of the meat.
One day I WILL get into your restaurant. Until that day, I just use your jarred sauce. Literally the best.
Best sauce I've ever had
As someone who was never into red sauce after years of eating Preago, I LOVE Rao’s it’s pretty much the only red sauce I eat now
God bless you, you know better now. Prego is a crime upon humanity exceeded only by Ragu. Actually I hate most jarred sauces, but Rao's, Famiglia Del Grosso, and (weirdly) Newman's Own Sockarooni are all acceptable in my house.
I attempted to make Sunday gravy on my own last Christmas with my grandpa's recipe because I want to keep the tradition going. It turned out okay but I'm going to make it with these instructions since I think I forgot to add water so it was too thick.
I like the fact that he's wearing a $40,000 watch (Patek Phillippe Aquanaut) while making meatballs and tomato sauce. Pure class
I love Rao's sauce❤
Thank You Frank.
Best sauce ever!
Homemade of its finest 👍
Best sauce in the game.
Haha yes! My brother and I would steal meatballs and taunt each other by singing a little song about how we did a very bad thing lol
This man is a national treasure!
I'm vehemently against jarred sauces, but the Rao's marinara is one of three that I truly love.
What are the other two?
@@anthonyhusband3699
There's one by a company called 'Menu' called Pomodorina. It comes in a can and the style of it looks like it's from the 70s. It might be a little trashy and also has a nice lake of oil on the top when you open it.
The other one isn't as easy to get called Michael's of Brooklyn. I get it when I'm there but sometimes it's also on ebay or Amazon at some rediculously obscene price.
@@Genious. I work at a grocery store and we sell Rao’s like crazy when it’s on sale…. Right now and I don’t understand the fuss. It’s 2 to 3 times the price of national brands and it flies off the shelf. I tried it and it’s nothing special. I do prefer to make my own when I can so maybe I’m just picky.
@@anthonyhusband3699 I'm totally the same way - I actually LOVE making it on Sunday and oddly enough the recipe that I go to the most came from my Dad's mother, who is Italian and is mostly cooked in the oven. As far as Rao's, it's only the marinara that I really like. The others are fine but are still not that close to what I've tasted in the restaurant. But in a way, I do get people preferring theirs over any of that well known slop: Hunts, Ragu, Prego, Barilla and the worst to me is that Classico stuff. It's like the Subway of pasta sauces.
Fantastico!
Cool. We found Farm to fork just before the pandemic started and then they went out of business. Been searching for a replacement and found Rao's marinara. It's awesome. Based on that sauce alone, we are going to be trying their other sauces and pre-made products. 👍🏾
@varun prasad Not an ATK fan since they canned Christopher Kimball. Milk Street Kitchen FTW!
Rao’s is good and has good ingredients. No matter the price, I always pickup a couple jars.
This is awesome
Beautiful.
As a non Italian, Sunday Sauce rules. I think I Unwittingly ate at Rao's in the past, it is pretty damn good from my memory.
In vegas
@@Redsoxking Now, TBF, not even Gordon Ramsay can secure reservations into the Harlem Rao's, so it's a totally OK and reasonable thing to get the experience in Vegas instead.
@@TheZenomeProject sadly Vegas closed
@@Redsoxking I know! I get the feeling that they'll eventually return in some way after the nonsense ends, though, because I knew that they made a killing over there before the craziness.
@@TheZenomeProject here hoping
Came a long way from grandma’s sunday gravy recipe feeding the family on a budget to cooking it wearing a $150,000 watch.
It’s a PP aquanaut. Definitely not 150k but a beautiful watch nonetheless
@@Fierag Thats a travel time not the regular, they can go for about 150k on the grey market. Almost nobody can get them at retail.
@@stevenw2933 its so sexy when a man knows his timepieces!!!
@@stevenw2933 you’re right, I noticed the subdial, beautiful watch indeed.
Hey, that's what makes America great, right? Don't doubt that they worked their a**es off. Smart that they decided to publish the recipe. Sales will go up, not down…
Nice Presentation!
Snooorree pyyyh snooorree pyyh zzzzzzz yaawn !!
It’s really similar to ragu alla napoletana 😃
Yeah, it's the Italian Americanized version of Ragu Napolitana.
He's wrong that this is how Sunday Sauce is made *all* over the US, it's mostly just true in the Northeast or made by descendants of Southern Italians, particularly from Campania/Naples, but yeah.
it's the best pasta sauce you can buy in a jar...
Yummy😋😋😋
Frank Pelligrino’s son. Frank was the real deal on E114 st. Drove a Bentley, a mans man.
I'm having meatballs with Rao's red sauce tonight. YUM!
Making mine today, got all the cuts i wanted minus brocole this time, meatballs gonna be the longest prep time,
Boy do I really miss those Sundays. Had a box of Veniero's. Grew up in Chinatown. Lost my mom's family to drugs.
Awesome
The way he says marinara sauce is revolutionary.
Looks tasty
What a sweet laid back gentleman
Ur description is exactly what my grandmother sauce was like
As an American Italian here , it’s sauce , gravy must be a NY/NJ term , gravy goes on potatoes, biscuits , and Christmas/Thanksgiving meals , everything else is a sauce.
I definitely a wonderbread wop thing. Anyone in touch with the culture, instead of Rao’s Americanized merde, knows this is a shitty interpretation of Ragu alla Napolitano and that those meatballs are too big
It's funny, got this recipe at the restaurant when I was 16. I'm 29 now and it's been the way I've been making Sunday gravy ever since.
rao's is "for the neighborhood" with a 2 year wait behind celebrities
Wow! You got RAO'S on here?!?
Hands down!
What a nice guy
This dude really makes me want to buy a jar of their sauce.
This is THE BEST SAUCE of all time
yummy
It would be my dream to dine at the restaurant…maybe one day
My boy got a absolute class watch
I did not know Quark could cook. This place sounds great.
