Didn't Cippriani's open with Joey Distefano as Head Chef, then Don Gerald, bought it?
Were Ralph and Kacoo Olinde owners from the start, or at some point along the way?

Joey may have been head chef at the startup now that you mention it. Word on the street was that Don got a bonus from Ralph and Kacoo when they sold R&K’s and that he used that money for his own restaurant. At least that was the rumor. All I know is he ended up with Cipriani’s and started working with Kleinpeters on a line of ice cream for them about the time Cipriani’s closed down.
