Brothers Alan and Nino Comanici were usually behind the cameras helping film At Home, but in this special episode from 2012, they join Arlene in the kitchen to cook up some tasty summertime food! Stuffed cheeseburgers, bacon cheese fries, coconut shakes, and a cookie dessert are all on the menu…
And if their names sound familiar, that’s because Alan and Nino are the sons of Laura Comanici, another frequent guest in Arlene’s kitchen. Over a decade has passed since this show, and God has blessed both these young men in their work. In fact, Nino even returned to Cornerstone Television, not as a cameraman but as a member of the board of directors!
