"CookinWithAWiseguy" news and stories

These days internet cooking shows come in all shapes and sizes, from Bitchin' Kitchens to cross-dressing trailer park fare. But now it's getting a little manly, dangerous and Italian with a "wiseguy."

Beat Royalty Group has kicked off a new show called "Cookin' with a Wiseguy" featuring Vince Guccione. Never heard of him? According to this sneak preview, many decades ago he was the marketing director for Penthouse magazine -- which his cousin Bob used to run -- before diving into a culinary career and acting as private chef for stars like Frank Sinatra.

Now running his own catering company, Guccione is sharing his foodie know-how, kicking things off with 2-Pot Pasta (a beefed-up tomato sauce). Retro "Rat Pack" style includes nice suits and sunglasses and even some switchblade and Godfather humor. But it's not all schtick -- you'll find some great sauce tips in the video as well, such as adding roast pork neck bones to lend sauce a sweet flavor.

Buon appetito!
