Buongiorno!   The Backbone FOOD Network brings you the meals and stories from the 2000 cookbook Can You Take the Heat by Jim Ross & The WWF Superstars. This episode, Chef Keithie deviates from the cookbook and makes a special dish right from Leilani Kai; Sensational Sherri's Pizza Spaghetti. When life on the road got tough, Sherri Martel always found a way to make things feel like home. After long drives and exhausting nights in the ring, she'd be in the kitchen making her famous Pizza Spaghetti — a dish that became a tradition because it was inexpensive, filling, and straight from the heart. Sherri's Pizza Spaghetti wasn't just about the ingredients; it was her way of taking care of the people she loved. She knew how to bring comfort, laughter, and a sense of family, even during the busiest days.   Mangiare la mia famiglia
