Italian Americans

Because I like cooking very much one of my favorite shows is “Cake Boss”. It is a show about everyday life in the Carlo's bakery New Jersey. The cake boss Buddy Valastro bakes amazing cakes and many celebrities order cakes from his bakery. Although, it is interesting to see all those fancy cakes, this is not a reason why I watch the show. The most interesting is to watch Buddy's family - his four sisters and many other relatives. They are all Americans, but their ancestors came from Italy. So for them, like for many Italians, the family is first. They are very emotional, when they talk to each other, you can think they are yelling. They have many things happening in the kitchen, someone can forget to put something in recipe, or cake can be damaged in delivery, but they always support each other. I like how they celebrate every holiday in the family of 30-40 people.

Another example of American Italians is the show “Jersey Shore”. In this show eight young people, 4 girls and 4 boys, live in a big house. And cameras everywhere show their life in the house. Like Buddy's family they are emotional, but unlike Valastros when people from Jersey Shore talk the TV is always beeping, because 30% of their words cannot be on TV, even on MTV. I do not understand why Jersey Shore is so popular among young people. I do not like how they behave, and I do not understand why someone shows them on TV. I am afraid that when my daughter grows, she will watch shows like this and will think that this normal behavior, and will behave like Snooky. It is interesting it was one episode in Cake Boss, when Snooky came to order a cake from Buddy, and he did not know who she was, but younger boys in bakery knew her, and were very excited. But I found one common thing between older American Italians, like Cake Boss, and younger ones, like Snooky, they all loved their mothers. When Snooky came to order a cake, she was doing party for her mother.
