Two Chefs on a Set
Scenes from Season 18
During the 18th season of Ciao Italia with Mary Ann Esposito, the Ciao Italia team took their show on the road for the first in a series of tapings in front of a live audience at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut. The Mohegan Sun shows have always been incredibly popular since all of the attendees get to enjoy a sample of the dish Mary Ann prepares. Both Mary Ann and the crew are energized by the enthusiasm and excitement of the crowd.
Here Mary Ann and her guest chef for the day, Sara Moulton, begin the prep work for their show. Taped September 18, 2007.
