The 'A' list of Celebrities he served in the mid 1980's is timeless. Yes, he was the beginning of the Celebrity Chef Shows that are so common now.

However, when his mother married into the close-knit, Italian culture, "FAMILY" - to Angelo Sabatini - they moved to NYC, where Pierre, after moving to was now known as Petey Sabatini, "Petey was tall, skinny and awkward as a child and could only endure the rough play from his brother and much bigger cousins by going stealth and inventing ways to give em' childhood payback.
