Butera’s kicked off Long Island Restaurant Week and co-hosted a viewing of Bob Giraldi’s film Dinner Rush starring Danny Aiello at the Cinema Arts Center in Huntington. Last night’s attendees stumbled upon a concept that has divided the world of shared culture for hundreds of years - Life Imitating Art? or Art Imitating Life?
Danny Aiello and Director Bob Giraldi (best known for his iconic music video Thriller starring Michael Jackson) conducted an intimate question and answer session post-screening revealing behind the scene details of the movie and their lives.
Chefs Martin and Gary Butera and Chef Nick Zografos of Butera’s Restaurants expertly executed a tasting that reflected the dishes portrayed in the film. Old and new school Italian favorites were paired with wines as in the movie and every day at Butera’s Restaurants in Woodbury, Sayville and Smithtown.

My favorite part of the evening was the
Q. and A. with actor Danny Aiello and
director Bob Giraldi! Their banter
and humor was charming. They gave
the inside scoop on making the movie,
and life in NYC's Italian restaurants.
