Bethenny Frankel‘s review of Harry Hamlin’s pasta sauce was brutally honest.
The former Real Housewives of New York star received a “beautiful” picnic basket from Lisa Rinna and Harry. It included a jar of HH’s rosemary red wine sauce and a branded ‘Harry’s Famous Sauce’ serving platter.
Noting how popular Rao’s jarred sauce is, B did a blind tasting of Harry’s sauce and Rao’s sauce for her TikTok followers to see how the quality compares.
A Taste of Reality from Bethennny:
With the help of an assistant, Bethenny ate a spoonful of Rao’s sauce. She declared the brand (which is endorsed by RHONJ’s Melissa Gorga) as “nice.”
On to Harry Hamlin’s sauce …
Skinnygirl made a sour face and exclaimed, “No! I don’t know what that is!”
Bethenny described the sauce as having an overwhelming “vinegar or wine” flavor. She covered her mouth with both hands as her assistant revealed the second sauce was Harry’s.
“No. I can’t.”
(Unsolicited) business advice from B:
“I’m so sorry! Sh*t! Why’d you send it?” Bethenny wondered aloud to Lisa Rinna’s husband.
She let the Mad Men actor know that “business is hard” and advised Harry to “go back and try another flavor.”
“You’d rather have a friend tell you …” (Which I think is something many of us will agree on, just not on TikTok. But, alas. This is Bethenny.)
The B Strong founder noted she refused to even sell a product at a discount shop at one point because she didn’t want to be associated with a sub-par product.
Bethenny declared this sauce “cannot represent Harry and Lisa.”
“No, I can’t!” she admitted as she gasped and covered her mouth with both of her hands while her assistant chimed in, “Sorry!”
“It can’t.”
Harry Hamlin’s daughter entered the chat:
Amelia Gray slipped into B’s comment section to give her expertise on how it should be served.
“Wait. You gotta cook it.” advised Amelia.
In a second video, showing her warming up the sauce with some pasta — but she still had the same reaction.
“I am truly sorry,” Frankel wrote over the clip also shared to TikTok.
