Truly dinner and a show.
"Cooking really is my first passion and love. I worked in New Orleans for a couple years
. I cooked in L.A. when I was pursuing acting. I started in Manhattan, had restaurants in Brooklyn," he told me. But then he added a-like twist to his own life story: "I got into a little trouble in restaurants with gambling, so that's when I sold the restaurant and moved to L.A." If that isn't a teaser for some quality dinner conversation, I don't know what is.
Gannascoli has been offering these dinner nights for a couple of years and has probably done about 20 so far. But up until now, things had been under the radar: just word of mouth. The nights picked up steam when people began posting photos to a large New York area Facebook group. Then, last Wednesday, and suddenly requests are rolling in. "I have two this week actually," he says, "which is great.
The events are intended for groups of at least 16 to as many as 50 people with Gannascoli entertaining for a full 10 hours—"because the sauce has got to cook," he explains—though he also mentions he'll probably drop out to your backyard for a cigar break at some point. As for the meal, things start with an antipasto before moving on to his two signature sauces: a clam sauce and a red sauce.
The whole experience is $125 a head, plus food expenses, but Gannascoli handles all the shopping, handpicking the ingredients himself. The chef-turned-actor-turned-chef currently lives with his family in Long Island, so though he's willing to travel anywhere, places farther flung than the greater New York area will cost a bit more.
