Look Who’s Cooking: Paul Giordano

Name: Paul Giordano

Age: 44

Home: Roanoke

Occupation: Printer repair technician

Why I love cooking: I love to entertain and try new foods. We have usually anywhere from 10 to as many as 20 people over at a time, and we have annual events like a crabfest where we bring in a bushel of crabs and everyone brings a dish.

Nominated by: Sister-in-law Ragan Farris, who wrote that Giordano’s specialties are “outstanding smoked dishes,” including pork butt, prime rib, ribs and beer-butt chicken, as well as “melt-in-your-mouth Italian dishes with handmade pasta.”

“I cherish Christmas Eve celebrations over a traditional Feast of the Seven Fishes where my brother-in-law shows off all of his culinary skills. I don’t know where the ‘Cranky Yankee’ gets his finesse in the kitchen, but I am glad to know my sister will never go hungry!”

    Paul Giordano is a good friend and I’ve eaten lots of his amazing food.

    His stuff puts just about every restaurant around here to shame.
