    I’ve followed you guys from the old days when you sold your house and set off with the doggos in your huge RV. You’ve evolved in both your filming and editing and it’s so enjoyable to watch each segment! I didn’t realize until today that there was such an evolution in your culinary adventures. In watching you eat that fantastic bowl of chilaquiles it brought to mind how in the “old days” you used to stop at “all you can eat” buffets at casinos which I loved. You then changed into a very “healthy” sort of high grains and veggies type of menus. To be honest there didn’t seem to be anything that I particularly enjoyed but now you seem to have hit a middle ground of healthy but very tasty meals. Most of what you cook/eat seem to be fantastic! Joe don’t worry about showing your bit of a tummy - just enjoy life. Best to you both!

    You guys are adorable! Kait, "Filming!" Absolutely loved that. Joe, appreciate your comfortableness with yourself. Many of us are sporting a little extra weight with these past few years of craziness. Such a humorous and transparent sharing. Loved it. Bella and I look very forward to our regular Russo's visit. Purchased both of the books, Joe, of course. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Really love the writing style, the stories, and the honesty. The relationship chapter in your second book covering your first years on the road where you guys both bottled in some frustration and then decided at almost the same time to share what was troubling you to each other. Beautiful. Just beautiful. It brought tears to my eyes. Sweet couple. Thank you so much for sharing your lives with us and for setting that example of real-life. I think it's exemplary. Safe journeys you two!!

    One of the times driving from Texas to California on I-40 in the New Mexico area, I passed a terrible wreck involving a couple of semi’s and cars. One of the cars was formed onto a ball. I mean a ball. I drive both I-10 and I-40 many times by car and large uhaul truck. I’ve seen a number of accidents on those highways. It been a number of years ago, since I have to California or Nevada. Enjoyed watching you trip. Spent a lot of time using rest areas.
