NextIteration May 29, 2015 Share May 29, 2015 Mo Rocca had Andrew Zimmern's nice Minnesotan mother in law on My Grandmother's Ravioli, and she showed how to make her famous tater tot hot dish. Ba, ha ha, "by the lake" and that lake of course would be "up north", don't ask. I think it's great, but you can feel your arteries fill up when you eat it, but it's comfort food to the highest degree. It's one of the very few casseroles that my kids would eat - I think it's a texture thing for them. We never went in for the really cheesy versions though. It's served often as a public school lunch staple here. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/18275-19-questions-and-counting/page/3/#findComment-1193996

Show them what goes on in the real world? Get them some adequate schooling? (Yes, that counts as one question.) 2. Has there ever been any public blow-back towards the network that films this show, in terms of aiding and abetting the neglect of some of the kids, the dishonesty inherent in the ultra-selective editing? Has there been a tell-all written by a former crew member? Why does so little leak out about this dysfunctional mess? This was my post back in March.
