STANLEY TUCCI: SEARCHING FOR ITALY
CNN, 9:00 p.m. ET
Actor Stanley Tucci showed he knew his way around a kitchen when cooking up an omelet in real time, in one unbroken and brilliant scene, at the culinary climax of the fabulous 1996 movie Big Night. Now he’s running around Italy, being as friendly and inquisitive as Phil Rosenthal on his food and travel show – and there’s something about watching someone run around in Italy like a free-range chicken right now, when I’m still afraid to enter a grocery store in New Jersey, that makes this new CNN travel series a double treat. Just don’t watch on an empty stomach… You’ll regret it.
