Making sauce with Frank Prisinzano, Instagram’s mildly furious, exceedingly horny Italian uncle. rachel_handler reports
Photo: Christian Rodriguez “See, your palate is like having another dick,” says the chef Frank Prisinzano, dipping his pinky in a bubbling pot of tomato sauce. “It’s so sensitive. It’s so amazing. So much pleasure comes through it when you eat. How could you not develop this muscle? I mean, you masturbate, don’t you? It’s the same thing: Use it. Think about what you’re tasting. Stay lucid.”
Frank’s methods are not recipes, and please do not call them that, or he will get a little bit mad. He has never written down a recipe in his life — not even for the cooks at his restaurants — and he’s not about to start now. “I don’t see the point,” he says. Also, please do not ask him for specific brand names or ingredient measurements, or he will really start to get mad. The methods are about you developing your palate and instincts as a cook. You will never be him, and you shouldn’t try.
More often than not, you can see several versions of Frank, filming himself, refracted within his gigantic glasses. He has a few catchphrases that he inserts into each video, like “Anoint, anoint, anoint,” which he says whenever he coats his finished pasta dish in olive oil.
The Instagram character is an “amplified” version of himself, he says, and in part based on his Italian grandmother — his family hails from Puglia, Naples, and Sicily — who taught him to cook when he was 7 years old. Five years after that, Frank was working in pizzerias in his native Queens: “By the time I was 12, I was better than most Italian chefs already. I mean, I was cooking all of her food. It was pretty incredible.
