Rest in Peace

Pasquale Carpino was 69. He was the Singing Chef in his double-breasted, bright blue smock who starred in Italian cooking shows.

While working at the CNE and walking through the Food Building during a lunch break in 1990, I saw Pasquale signing autographs. I had never heard of him before but I decided to line up and meet him anyways because he was attracting a large crowd and appeared to be someone famous. I remember him asking me who I wanted him to sign the 8x10 picture of him to and his surprise at my answer.... Mike.
