Jason Steen

You should all remember Brittany Dugger – the stripper-turned chef, who then became judge-jury-executioner when she assaulted a a homeless man back in November. The new restaurant, Tartufo, owned by Marco Rossi, appears to be on track to open, at least if you judge by the self-published press releases and photos of the kitchen.
