Ep 3. Diggy's Bolognese Crazy

In season two, episode three of Rev Run's Sunday Suppers, titled "Diggy's Bolognese Crazy," we see Rev Run and his son, Diggy Simmons, team up in the kitchen to create a delicious Italian feast. The episode begins with Rev Run explaining that he's the "big chef" in the family, but today, he's excited to have his son join him in the kitchen.

The duo starts by preparing the star dish of the evening: Diggy's signature Bolognese sauce. The father-son duo discusses the importance of using fresh ingredients and the right spices to make the perfect sauce. Diggy's secret ingredient involves slowly cooking onions and garlic in olive oil for a rich flavor. They also use fresh tomato puree, a touch of cream, and various herbs to make the sauce more flavorful and aromatic. As they cook, Rev Run shares stories from his upbringing and what food meant to him and his family.

While the Bolognese is simmering, the two whip up a side dish of cauliflower with a twist. Rather than steaming it, Diggy shows his dad how to oven roast it with olives, garlic, and fresh herbs for more texture and flavor. Rev Run is impressed with the dish, saying it tastes like "something you'd have in a fancy restaurant."

To accompany the scrumptious meal, they make garlic bread from scratch. Diggy explains that he learned to make bread while on a trip to Italy, and the two bond over their love of Italian culture and cuisine. The garlic bread is a hit as they pull it out of the oven, and they both marvel at how quickly it's devoured by the family and friends gathered around the table.

As they continue to cook, the duo talks about their family and how important it is to come together for meals. Rev Run tells Diggy that the family and tradition are the most precious things in life, and it's something that Diggy echoes. They discuss how valuable it is to cook and eat together, sharing stories, and making memories.

For dessert, Diggy serves up a decadent chocolate cake with homemade whipped cream. The pair works together to make the cake from scratch, and Diggy explains how the cake is his go-to dessert when he has a craving for something sweet. Rev Run is impressed with the final product as they slice into the cake, with the creamy frosting and moist cake layers delighting everyone at the table.

The episode ends with the family gathered around the table, digging into the delicious meal that Rev Run and Diggy have prepared. Rev Run and Diggy reflect on the importance of family and tradition, and how food plays a vital role in bringing everyone together. Gradually the episode draws to a close with paparazzi-style photographs capturing the father-son duo's intimate moments while cooking, preparing, and cooking for the family meal, creating a beautiful memory of the day.
