New York chefs and Frankies Spuntino Group co-owners Frank Castronovo and Frank Falcinelli will welcome internationally acclaimed chefs to the backyard garden of Frankies 457 in Brooklyn to create unique interpretations of cookout fare and collaborate on one-of-a-kind dishes. Each night will be a multi-course feast, beginning with cocktails at 7:00 p.m.
