Biography
[edit]Perrazzo opened his first restaurant, bBd's in Rocky Point on Long Island, New York where it garnered recognition as a neighborhood burger joint with a high quality craft beer selection.[10][11]
In 2018, he closed bBd's in Rocky Point[12] and opened bBd's in Palace Station hotel and casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, later becoming recognized by Las Vegas Weekly as one of Las Vegas’ Best New Restaurants[13] and “one of the best places to eat in Vegas” by Food & Wine. [14][15][16]
As of 2022, Perrazzo moved bBd's to the Las Vegas Strip[17] and began focusing on distributing his Snap-O-Razzo Hot Dogs nationwide and internationally.[18]
