SOPRANOS WHACK CHEFS IN LI COOKING COMPETITION    
 

Last Saturday TV wiseguys did a real life “hit job” on local chefs dishes in a Merrick cooking competition.  “Battle of Restaurants” took place at East Bay Farms on Merrick Rd where local restaurants competed Iron Chef style to win the first annual title.

The event was hosted by WBLI’s Astra and MTV / Food Network’s DJ CHEF who also spun the beats and served up some fabulous finger foods. Celebrity judges looking to whack unsatisfying dishes were Sopranos Vincent Pastore (Big Pussy) & Federico Castelluccio (Furio Gunta) along with Joe from the “Wise Guy Show” (Sirius radio) and actor Paul Vario from the mob movie “This Thing of Ours”. Over 1,000 excited guests turn out for the star studded event. DJ CHEF kept the energy up spinnin’ pop tracks mixed with rat pack / party classics that had a crowd dancing and singing while the cooking action was taking place. Lisa Rosen from Bellmore says “This is amazing, it’s like Food Network meets MTV — cooking, music & celebrities…what’s better than that!.” La Strada from Merrick turn out victorious with classic pasta dish that had the judges asking for seconds.
