TV Dinner

Family Recipe


MY COUSIN DAVE PONTILLO WAS CO-PRODUCER AND SERVED AS ASSISTANT DIRECTOR FOR THE GREAT STEAK CHALLENGE 2 Airing Tuesday night (April 10th) at 9:00pm est on the Cooking Channel. 

The Great Steak Challenge brings together two of America's timeless and tastiest obsessions...Steak and wine! Ten amateur chefs from around the country go head-to-head at the beautiful Beringer vineyards in Napa Valley for $25,000 in prize money, all to see who has the best steak recipe, paired with a Beringer wine. Bobby and Jamie Deen host, along with a panel of experts, to crown America's best backyard griller!

Keep an eye out for David.  He's a talented, hard-working guy that comes from a great family, if I may say so myself.  Check it out and look for his future projects!

The extended Pontillo clan (Pontillo/Fricano/Tepedino/Woodring/Spiecher) is not just responsible for a great family network to be part of, but also responsible for half of the burns on my forearms--from pizza ovens at the Pizza Shops we all worked at at one point or another (Pontillo's Pizzeria-Western NY's Finest-Since 1947).
