I want to talk about something that's near and dear to my heart during the writer's strike.

Was that a couple of months ago we were trying all kinds of things during the writer's strike.

Uh, and one night on the show we did a piece where I spent some time with someone on our staff.

He's an associate producer here at late night.

His name is Jordan's Slansky and yeah, there he is.

No, he's not a magician.

Huh?

Okay.

He's a hypnotist.

What kind of picture is that?

That's cheers.

I will see that in my sleep.

All right, Jordan, as you can tell from that picture, he's not like everyone else.

Okay, we learned a lot about him.

He he loves the rock band.

Rush is his favorite rock band.

Uh and he's very proficient with an indiana jones bull whip.

That's one of his hobbies.

He has the bull whip and he practices all the time.

And we learned all this stuff about Jordan's and since then, since we aired the piece, countless people everywhere I go say, hey, what happened to that guy Jordan's, is that guy for real?

Does he still work for you?

We want to see more of Jordan.

He just hit some chord with people.

So I thought I should spend more time with Jordan's Slansky.

Uh now Jordan fancies himself a wine and food expert.

So I thought it would make sense if George and I had dinner together.

I allowed Jordan to pick the restaurant.

He took me to his favorite italian restaurant on the upper east side.

It's called do way right here in Manhattan we brought a camera crew along.

Here's what happened, you asked me to meet you at Doue tonight because you wanted me to experience fantastic italian meal.

Yes, good meal, good service.

They have the whole package.

Okay um you can look me in the eye if you want to.

Hi how are you?

Sarah?

He's not really italian.

Hey how are you gonna?

Sad what I said Okay Now you two, you two hug please each other each other.

This is your passion, is that right correct?

Women don't interest you food.

I choose to be surrounded by beauty in all forms as often as possible.

Thank you.

Good looking person, a well dressed person, a good looking surrounding.

I like to be in places that have style with people that have style with food that has style, you know so much of the time.

Let's get the grub on.

Yeah given the weather, I would love something from Piemonte as you mentioned and why not?

The king of all wines?

Barolo, the king of Piedmont.

That's correct.

You like a barolo sounds good to me.

I understand.

That was quick.

Thank you.

Do you mind if I look it over?

Yeah yes that will do.

Thank you.

I'll put things on to tell you someone once told me that good olive oil you can should taste like the Tuscan sun.

Does that make sense to you if it's Tuscan olive oil, that's what I mean.

But you can taste the sunshine, of course you can taste the sunshine.

You can, of course you can say like, oh yeah, that's interesting.

When you say, of course it makes me, it feels like a put down like, oh right, idiot.

You know what I mean?

You can just say like, oh yes, yes, that's a good point, Conan, yes, yes, I've heard the same.

Just understand that these are artisanal works, this wine, this olive oil are the product of a number of factors.

The whole is greater than the sum of its parts, stabbed me in the head staff breaking just right here and just drive it through George and I are now going to go downstairs and meet the chef is the chef italian.

I believe he is.

If he were not italian, would that bother you?

It would be another cause for concern for no other reason other than being that he's italian.

There's a more likeliness that he would appreciate the art of food.

I don't know what this means.

His, I've just told his name, his name is hu chang Mario Mario jordans, Mario malta, the beauty of the colors, the beauty of what's going on in that panel right now.

The bubbling of the sauce, the excitement, the energy, look how the sauce is reducing.

You could see the steam rising off incredibly central experience would you let me to call the police all excited about the color of tomato.

How many tomatoes have you seen in your life?

They all look the same.

That's not true, chill out.

I had the pleasure of visiting Machado Tourneau vento and the language of Piemonte.

Probably known as one of the best gastronomic centers of the world.

One of the best restaurants in Italy.

And you're in a good food place.

That's correct.

It was a multi course meal.

The meal lasted four hours.

I had the pleasure of being taken down to the wine cellar when it was over and raped.

Yeah, sorry.

It's weird that I'm just holding this plate now.

We must be sharing it.

Anyway, go ahead.

It took you down to the wine cellar.

I'm sorry.

I was rude.

Go ahead.

My little joke.

I'm sorry.

I made a little joke.

What happened to the story.

I was in a small town in southern Tuscany backing up the whole way.

I understand you were in.

I'm sorry.

Go ahead.

I've had a little bit too much for mine.

I'm meeting the whole anti pasta plate myself.

I'm kind of dicky.

Go ahead and chopper.

It was the night of a very important football game.

After the dinner ended, I went down to the piazza where the entire city had gathered to watch the game projected on a medieval wall and you were raped.

Mhm.

Music to me is very important.

I believe when entertaining that music should be playing from the moment?

The first person walks in to the moment the last person leaves.

I've arranged for music in the back.

Yes.

Oh moody.

Yeah.

Yo man, you look beautiful.

Okay.

Do you still um play with the bull whip sometimes?

I don't know if you're aware Jordan's many skills.

Are you aware that he's an expert with a bull whip that I didn't know?

Mhm.

Okay.

Yeah.

This Sortino is the best I've ever had.

What are you talking about?

Drop of cake.

It's good.

The moistness of the cake.

I'm in heaven right now.

I wish you were listen to me.

Just do me one favor.

Savor what you're about to put in your mouth.

Feel the combination of textures between the gelato and the Torti.

No, feel the combination of temperatures between the hot and the cold.

You have got it in your mouth, this kind of color in my mind.

I like you.

You're a nice guy.

Beat the mush, Shut the pie hole.

Well that was a fantastic meal.

It's about 1 30 in the morning George and I are headed to a german disco on the lower east side.

So good night and good eating.

Let's do it, let's get him out here in Jordan.

Um Okay.
