'Top Chef' also-ran Fabio Viviani to pretend he likes frozen pizza
Posted on Fri Feb 27 2009
Really, is there no greater honor for a chef than to be associated with a delicacy like frozen pizza? That's the way Fabio Viviani, "the Italian Stallion" from season five of Bravo's Top Chef, evidently feels. He has signed on as spokesman for the U.S. launch of Dr. Oetker's frozen pizza. The brand, despite it's utterly horrible name, is No. 1 in Italy. Viviani said in a statement: "Growing up in Italy, my mom often had Dr. Oetker's products in the home." Apparently she wasn't much of a cook.
