Every year you hear me talk about my family, my faith, our food… but you’ve never really heard it from the one person who’s lived it all with me: my wife, Cammy. In this Thanksgiving special, I finally got her to sit down on camera and tell you what life was really like being married to a former mob boss — from the early days when she wasn’t even attracted to me, to finding out I was in the Life, to traveling the country with three kids to visit me in prison. We talk Italian vs. Mexican families, massive holiday dinners, the battles over turkey, pasta, and pumpkin pie, and why our house is all about God, family, and food. She shares the Bible verse that held our family together, exposes the goofiest things I’ve ever done, and even calls me out on my wine habits. This is the most honest look you’ll get at the real Michael Franzese, straight from the woman who knows me best.
