Giants’ Tommy DeVito Ranked Italian Dishes With a Famous Food Influencer, and Fans Loved It
Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito has become quite the meme king since taking over the starting role in New York.
Most of the memes stem from him being Italian and being nicknamed “Tommy Cutlets.” So, it was very fitting that he partnered with TikTok and Instagram influencer Cugine to rank his favorite Italian dishes on social media.
Cugine listed off some Italian dishes to DeVito, and the quarterback was asked to rank them without knowing which dish was coming next.
He first ranked pasta dishes. Here’s his list in order from his favorite to least favorite with the options: penne vodka, linguine with clams, bolognese, ravioli and lasagna.
Then came the Italian entrees. DeVito’s number one answer didn’t surprise anyone: chicken cutlets. The rest of his list included eggplant parmesan, shrimp scampi, chicken francese and veal marsala.

Giants fans may not be super thrilled with the 4–8 season, but they seem to love the DeVito content the social team is feeding them. Take a look at some of the reactions from Thursday’s Italian food video.
