little bit about maria's chef daddy...... If Maria Bartiromo were not the anchor of CNBC's most successful business programs, would she be: A. running a large Italian restaurant in Brooklyn? (snort picks this one.... ) B. an actress, perhaps starring in a Francis Ford Coppola movie? C. managing a major Wall Street investment firm or public company? D. teaching at a high school in the Bronx? E. a hands-on interior decorator? With her unique background and talents, Maria could have been successful in any of these careers. Maria grew up hanging out with her Dad at Rex Manor, a large Italian restaurant and catering hall he owned in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, near her home. On Mondays, she joined him while he did the books, fascinated by the organization of receipts, charges, negotiations with vendors, and his explanations of how to determine profit and loss. In her teens, she was coat check girl while her sister, Theresa, hosted and her brother, Patrick, waited tables, but "Mondays doing books with Dad was the seed that was planted." As a child, she had taken jazz, ballet and step classes, so it was only natural that on nights off from working at Rex, she became a selfdescribed "Disco Queen," reminiscent of John Travolta's dance partner Stephanie in "Saturday Night Fever." Although Maria insists she loved Brooklyn and her life at Rex Manor, she shared Stephanie's burning desire to escape Brooklyn. Even as she checked coats and discoed all night, Maria knew she was destined for more and Manhattan beckoned. For Maria, Manhattan was only a few subway stops away at New York University where she enrolled as an economics and business major, and later — at the urging of her mother — switched to journalism major with business minor. ........ and the rest is history.
I really do like your good eats forum. I also post a bit of cooking stuff on ouboards.com where I have several freinds. I have been a member of tigerforums for quite a while also. As far as I am concerned Louisiana cooks are awsome. We are setting up a similar board over on tidefans.com, I think it will be called grillin' n chillin' yes, another foodtv ripoff for a name. I really do like watching Good Eats, Alton Brown and I can't stand Bobby Flay but I realy did like Jack McDavid from the old Grillin' and Chillin' show. Shoot me an email at [email protected] I would like to pick your brain for some ideas and information if I may.
