Those Manzo Boyz!!! Always setting themselves up for something! This time, it’s as restaurant critics!!! Yeah… OK!
From northjersey.com:
“Dining out with the Manzos: Albie and Chris Manzo, the amiable sons of “Real Housewife” Caroline Manzo of Franklin Lakes, can now add a restaurant web show to the long list of projects made possible by the popularity of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey.” They will be starring in “Dining Out With the Manzos,” created by DiningOut magazine. The restaurants featured in the trailer are Flirt Sushi Lounge in Allendake, Bibi’z in Westwood and Masina Trattoria Italiana in Weehawken.”
Jumpin on the fooodie slant that Bravo seems to be taking lately. Purty smart.
Right? Cept for the smart bit. Let’s hope the Manzo’s fate is the same or similar to Danielle’s after her little foodie wanna be stint.
Anybody got any success stories of housewives (and associates) and food? The thought process part of my brain seems to be locked in a cage and set on Château d’If at the moment.
well, let’s clean out your mind and freshen it with some French Laundry.
Except they don’t have what it takes to make it look like they are intelligent enough to do it, if that is an example of the show, YIKES !
Such talent, these two.
This from men who were recently filmed throwing ham againt the wall for fun, Hard to take them seriously as food critics.
Lol!!! I’ve not been watching NJ but that comment made me laugh
Well this really looks like a bore. Usually the trailer shows the best parts. So the best scenes are Albie talking about grated cheese and Chris falling off a boat? Why is Chris just sitting there eating? He is the one with the personality and he is interested in cooking. I would rather see him talk. Albie should just sit there and look pretty. Uncle Chris is seen sitting there and he is a bigger bore than Albie. These two should just go back o the Brownstone already. What do they know about restaurants? I probably know more about great restaurants around here than they do.
They should make a strip club where the strippers take your order then grind on you till dinner is served
Chris does have personality, but the reason he is there is he’s trying to make money pure and simple. What he should be doing is being careful about doing any new business now with the millions in lawsuits from Blackwater (what happened lololololol) and the 28 million if not more lawsuit against his whole family in regard to them essentially stripping the Rockafella company of all it’s money and assets without paying the vendors or debt.
“Wait, can you just be allergic to duck?” Looks like an exciting show. They are cute kids, but they are too young and inexperienced to do a show like this.
Yes, they are definitely cute kids, no doubt about that. But – unfortunately, that’s ALL they are. If it weren’t for the concept of “reality TV” where you need absolutely zero talent to become a “celebrity,” these boys would hopefully be working steadily somewhere if not the successful family business, and gearing up to start their own families eventually.
Yeah.
Aren’t they in their 20′s? I know they are tied to Mama’s apron strings but pretending to still be adolescents is getting pathetic.
I guess “Boys to Manzo” is done?
If the graphic guys have to put that REC frame with battery monitor around your segment just to give viewers something to look at, then you’re boring.
I didn’t understand one thing that was said, except that Chris fell into the water. And until i read a previous poster’s comment about the allergy to duck line, I didn’t even remember hearing it although it was the last thing that was said in the video. Sad…
Just how I felt! Boring and not interesting at all
This show should be titled ” Last Desperate Attempt to Avoid Working at the Brownstone ( or working at all ) With Albie and Chris. “
Guilty: LOL!!! Funny!!! TFC!! SH
Too true!
Yup! Totally!
LOL!
They are both such loosers.
Gag me. That is all.
They’re probably doing this so that they could get free meals. Seriously!
P.S. Can’t wait to read their reviews, as DH and I ate at probably EVERY restaurant from Hoboken to Kinnelon!
Are they really reviewing the restaurants or just saying everything is great? If they say anything bad, other restaurants won’t sign up to do the show. The show has no direction. It does not look like the boys had a script or anything. Sloppy work. They just want to save face because Boys to Manzo did not work out. They should do a show on places that they like that kids their age can go to in Hoboken.
Or get crappin n that places to poop book.
un…er…crackin
It seems like the places to poop book is still the best idea they have come up with, and what does that say?
Where was Lindsey?? And BigGayGreggy?? Hope there isn’t trouble in paradise with those wacky kids!!
I did get the feeling, though, that this was filmed during a lunch break in the depositions in the BLK litigation!!
What did happen w/Blackwater? Love the caricature of Caro… she was suffering a migraine during a RH vacation..
Joan: BLK litigation is alive and well in Los Angeles Federal District Court

Thank you Who! I know you weren’t replying to me, but I always so love and appreciate the information that you share and the way you share it all.
Aww mt, you know I live to serve!!! I’m just happy you all indulge my occaisional conspiracy theory rants!!
Indulge and embrace, dearest Who.
Thanks Who!
WOW! So how come the Manzos are still running around like crazy trying to sell it? They just had an appearance today at Wegmans.
Lawyer bills!! LOL!!
If they lose won’t they have to give the profits back?
What about the Punta Cana lawsuit? Those guys were seriously hurt and it seems like Joe Giudice and the Manzos will get away with it. This Blk water trial is probably the first time they have not gotten away with something,
So.. When they show the words “great chemistry” are they referring to Chris and Albie? If not, then I dunno who they are tryin’ to fool.
I will make sure I miss this
Just noticed that the guy looked annoyed when Albie asked him what grated cheese he uses. LOL.
Think about it–they all know who the boyz are and are probably suspicious they’ll steal their secrets and run back to the Brownstone, or worse, to MomCaro who no doubt needs a new sauce product to try to stay relevant. If they’ll rip off some old guys’ water concept (allegedly), would you trust them with your recipes??
True. I also think that the owners of these restaurants agreed to do the show to get exposure. They have been successful owners of their business’ for YEARS and then the MANZO BOYS who have no success in anything are strolling in to review it? Albie did not know what the hell he was talking about. Chris should have done the talking.At least he would have been amusing.
This is so boring, omg. These two need to give up on trying to be a Reality Star and just get a real job and move on with their lives. They have nothing to offer on a show. They’re boring, immature and inexperienced… not just in food but in LIFE.
These boys are too inmature and ill – equipped to even pretend to be food critics. When are they going to just realize, it is time to actually go to work. I use to like Chris, Jack’s hubby – - but no more. His constant enabling of her brat daughtet began to show him as just ignorant. And the bankruptcy-embezzlement of company funds to personal accts of his and Jack! Ghezz-so sick of yhe fraud, the lies, the con jobs!!! Bravo, puleeze, enough already!!!! This crap is ruining the entire series. Maybe it is the con and the theif who loves the idea of selling their soul to a teality show for fame and attention. Honestly, Bethany, Lisa & Ken, Ramona, and Paul are the only people who seem to work hard and truely have real money! I don’t include Adrianne as from everything I’ve read, she and her brothers have done nothing but make bad business decisions and lost lots of $$$ off of their FATHER’S hard work and fortune. Nobody in the investment/business arena seems to even acknowlege Adrianne Maloof at all. She (half-assed) booked a couple entertainment gigs for the Palms a few times, but that is it other than her ridiculously priced and boring looking shoeline. I never felt she was that bright or had a business savy about her and she certainly proved that correct at the reunions this season! She has obvious self esteem issues, just look at that ridiculous face.
I wonder how much the restaurants pay since it’s clearly just misguided advertising but perfect for this pair. It’s odd that the “Boys” are having a fake dinner with owners who are their parents age instead of their peers like Lauren and BGG. If I’m an early 20-something I don’t wanna go where my parents hang out and, as one of “The Olds,” I don’t wanna go where the 20-somethings hang out. This whole thing seems poorly conceived.
Exactly! They should review places for kids their age like in Hoboken. I would not take advice from Chris and Albie Manzo about where to dine. Young adults do not usually dine in upscale restaurants. These two do not know what the hell they are talking about. By the way I saw Brownstone sauce in a supermarket near me. It is npw $7.99 per jar! All of the other sauces were 3.99 per jar. Crazy.
I wonder what BIg Al thinks of Chris Laurita and this Blk water lawsuit his sons are dragged into. If these were my kids I would be livid. The lawyers fees must be tremendous. Caro definitely broke ties with Tre and Joe because she blamed Joe for getting her sons in trouble at Punta Cana. I doubt she is smart enough to realize her brother is bad news and her sons should not be in any business with him. They should just stick with the Brownstone with their dad.
