Frank Formica will be one of the chefs at this annual event.
While many women might share horror stories of their husbands attempting to cook dinner, that will hardly be the case at the ninth annual Men R Cookin’ event. These guys know their way around a kitchen, and will prove it Thursday, Feb. 25, from 6-9pm at the Boys and Girls Club of Atlantic City (BGCAC). Around 70 men — some professional chefs, others regular joes sharing certain family favorites — will present a wide array of appetizers, entrees and desserts for a $50-per-person fee that includes valet parking. There will also be gourmet coffees, teas and “frothy confections,” and all proceeds will benefit the BGCAC, located at 317 N. Pennsylvania Ave. in A.C.
“Everyone does a superb job, and it’s just a good night of community and business members getting together under one room for a really great event,” says BGCAC staff member Vanessa Monroe. “It’s a good mix of professional chefs, young chefs in training and amateurs.”
Raffle tickets will be on sale at $25 apiece or five for $100. Raffle prizes include dinner for four at The Palm restaurant with a wall caricature; a pearl necklace with bracelet and earrings; golf outings at Stone Harbor Golf Club and Blue Heron Pines, and others.
Among the participating chefs are Formica’s Bakery owner and Atlantic County Freeholder Frank Formica (cooking Grandma Rosa’s tomato pie); ACCVA chef Carl Redding (smothered chicken with onions); Harrah’s Entertainment executives Don Marrandino (meatballs), Joe Domenico (sausage and peppers) and Jay Snowden (barbeque shrimp sauce); and Pleasantville Mayor Jesse Tweedle (blackened grilled chicken breast).
For more information, call 347-2697 or visit acbgc.org.
Ever since he returned to his Atlantic City roots more than two years ago, Don Marrandino has been an outspoken critic of the costs of doing business at Boardwalk Hall.
"The change reflects our evolution as the industry's leading provider of branded casino entertainment."
