Bethenny Frankel turned up her nose after trying Harry Hamlin’s pasta sauce during a blind taste test.
The “Real Housewives of New York City” alum gave a scathing review of Harry’s Famous Sauce on TikTok Tuesday after receiving a jar inside a “beautiful” picnic basket.
“Oh god the lord’s work is not easy,” Frankel captioned the video in which she blindly tried a spoonful of Rao’s pasta sauce and another of Hamlin’s rosemary red wine sauce.
While the former Bravolebrity, 54, thought the Rao’s was “nice,” she immediately made a sour face after tasting Hamlin’s recipe, exclaiming, “No! I don’t know what that is!”
The SkinnyGirl Cocktails founder explained she wasn’t a fan of the sauce’s strong “vinegar or wine” flavors.
“No, I can’t!” she admitted as she gasped and covered her mouth with both of her hands while her assistant chimed in, “Sorry!”
“I’m so sorry! S–t! Why’d you send it?” Frankel wondered aloud to Lisa Rinna’s husband.
The entrepreneur then warned Hamlin that “business is hard” and advised him to “try another flavor.” She added that the product “cannot represent Harry and Lisa.”
Frankel’s video received many comments, including one from Hamlin and Rinna’s daughter Amelia Gray, 23.
“Wait you gotta cook it,” she instructed Frankel, before joking that she was “star struck” by the review.
Frankel then did exactly that 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 on Tuesday.
After heating up the sauce, the TV personality told viewers it was “worse” and that the sauce tasted like “not great red wine.”
Frankel explained that she and her assistant were “trying not to be mean” and they were “actually sorry” for the honest review.
Meanwhile, Hamlin, 73, previously stopped by Page Six studios in October and revealed that his secret ingredient in the sauce is “love and more love.”
He explained that the sauce contains “no preservatives” with the ingredients listed as crushed tomatoes, red wine, tomato paste, water, honey, extra virgin olive oil, garlic and organic rosemary.
The Emmy-nominated actor has even made his special pasta sauce and bolognese for Rinna and her friends on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.”
Hamlin’s famous sauce has even led to his cooking show, “In The Kitchen With Harry,” on AMC, which has since been renewed for a second season.
