Q&A: Mark Seal on the Ciprianis

2 November 2009 7:21 AM, PST | Vanity Fair | See recent Vanity Fair news »

Father-and-son restaurateurs Arrigo and Giuseppe Cipriani revolutionized New York dining and nightlife from the moment they arrived, in 1985, when they opened Harry Cipriani, on Fifth Avenue (it was modeled after Harry’s Bar, the Venice institution founded by Arrigo’s father). But after a 20-plus-year reign, they left America under a cloud in 2008, after having been convicted of tax evasion and accused of having Mafia ties. For his article in the December issue of V.F., "The Trouble with Harry's," contributing editor Mark Seal caught up with the Ciprianis in Europe, where they not only wined and dined him but also answered almost all of his questions. Vf Daily decided Seal should have to answer some questions, too. Vf Daily: You write that you had a week of successive dinners with Arrigo Cipriani—so did you put on weight in the course of this story? Mark Seal: Amazingly, I didn’t. »

My biggest obstacle at this point is not finding the material, it’s finding the time to watch it, and the money to purchase it all. After consistently emptying my bank account on countless DVD’s and books over the last few months, I really started to ask myself one question: How the hell can I pick all this stuff up quickly and affordably?
