Does anyone know what happened to Chef Tony. He was so knowledgeable about products he represented. Also, just seemed like such a great guy. I miss him

He has been gone quite a while. I wonder if he retired.

I remember him on QVC 2 last summer -- summer 2023, not this past summer. I remember because he presented Rastelli's Beef Wellington and it was the only time I was very close to ordering it.

Stacey Stauffer now seems to be selling a lot of the brands Chef Tony used to represent, like Delizioso cakes, and Hahn's scones.

I started following Chef Tony on Facebook a few years ago because he would post all kinds of tasty, fun, and charming things related to QVC as well as his life. But he really hasn't posted anything since last summer, aside from a short post a couple of months ago indicating his Facebook account had been hacked. I think he must be taking a well-deserved step back from his long and lovely professional career to spend more time with his treasured family.

@Tatanoo46 , I don't know how but I forgot about him. Yes, I liked him also. I hope he is enjoying retirement

Chef Tony was such a likable guy! He presented products with the utmost knowledge and skill!😊 I purchased the Genius Dicer, slicer based solely on his expert demonstration; not sure of the actual name! I have his Easy Recipes You'll Love cookbook, and made some delicious recipes from it! He had an exemplary presence here and is truly missed!❤️

@SandySparkles - I still use those Genius chopper/dicer units and mandolines every single week; they are high-quality products and I always enjoyed Chef Tony's demos and tips for making the most of them. And I agree that his cookbook is great—based on this thread making me think about him again, I was already planning to make one of the tasty treats from that book this week.

ETA: If anyone is interested, I just checked Amazon and found that Chef Tony's book is still available there for just over $10. Nice! (Be sure to spell his last name "Notaro" when you search for it.)

I recall he had nine or ten children. He has plenty of family to keep him busy. Retire while you have your health.
