In July 2011,  Chef Jennifer DePalma competed on Bravo Tv’s  hit new series 

 Rocco’s Dinner Party     http://www.bravotv.com/roccos-dinner-party  

 Chosen the Winner!

 She is the first woman to win this Distinctive Honor.  Along with bragging rights  she received the Grand Prize of $20,000.00!  

The goal  being to see who would throw the best dinner party for Celebrity Author and  Chef  Rocco DiSpirito and his celebrity guests.   http://amzn.to/ptFWx3 Now EatThis9/27/11

Three  Chefs compete for the honor to be 1 of 2  Chefs chosen to cook for Rocco’s Themed Dinner Party for that particular evening by preparing and presenting their signature dish for Rocco to taste.

Rocco DiSpirito loved Chef Jen’s Signature dish Chicken Amore  so much he chose it as the winner of the signature dish challenge. Since then fans around the world have been asking for her Chicken Amore recipe!

The winner of the signature dish challenge then has the opportunity to choose 1 of three of Rocco’s dining rooms to serve their dinner party as well.

The two Chefs then meet with Celebrity Event Producer Jes Gordon  http://jesgordon.com/   and author of  “Party Like a Rock Star”   http://amzn.to/PRTLKRCKSTR     to discuss and plan the décor for their chosen dining room.  Jes Gordon then designs  the chosen dining room based on the input of the  chef.   Jes’s  Blog also gives further design details  of each dinner party.   http://www.bravotv.com/roccos-dinner-party/season-1/blogs/jes-gordon/finding-your-focal-point

Jen chose the Terrace Room for her dinner party and had it decorated in a South Beach theme with white sofas, a tented dining table, tiki torches – a real Miami vibe.   When everyone walked in Jen’s party, they fell so in love with the stylish Miami-South Beach décor.  http://www.bravotv.com/roccos-dinner-party/season-1/blogs/rocco-dispirito/anything-for-jeff-ross?page=0,4  

Jen started out with her Coco Loco Spritzer, made with vodka and coconut water.  Jen’s Pork Tenderloin was a good choice.   “But the best dish of the night was what she prepared to accommodate Jeff:  Matzoh Brei.  This traditional Passover dish is an omelet-like mixture of eggs and pieces of matzoh fried together. You can put other ingredients in it, like vegetables. It’s open to interpretation, and Jen’s was as Jeff put it: “Matzoh brei’s greatest moment!” It can be fattening too, but Jen brought hers in at 190 calories and 8 grams of fat.”  http://www.bravotv.com/roccos-dinner-party/season-1/blogs/rocco-dispirito/anything-for-jeff-ross?page=0,4

Comedian of Distinction Tammy Pescatelli

Tammy Pescatelli Comedian of Distinction

I had the pleasure of attending  “Comix at Foxwoods Casino in Connecticut presents Tammy Pescatelli, Joe Fernandes and Mike Gaffney”.

Joe Fernandes and Mike Gaffney had the whole audience roaring especially the guys.  My husband and his friend were laughing so hard they were crying and as I scanned the room I viewed a lot of grown men wiping their eyes and coughing from hysterical laughter.

Ahh then TammyPescatelli took the stage.  Her saying is “Find the Funny” and that she did!  Her humor addresses realistic, everyday life.   I had watched all of  Tammy’s  “A Stand Up Mother”  episodes  the  past year and cannot fathom Why “A Stand Up Mother”  is Not still airing  on @WEtv

Tammy Pescatelli brought down the house!   After the show Tammy, Joe and Mike greeted all their guests and were very personable.  What a great group of talent!  I highly recommend to check out these comedians  and where they will be performing.   ” BTW LOL LROF  Joe  Fernandes with an S”
