"I've known him), but one thing I DO know is his integrity. If he says he's done something, you can bet your life on it being true!"
Have you gone to his site, which he advertises in his tag line? Have you checked out his bio? Or his resume at the bottom of the page?
He makes a lot of claims. Not the least of which, he claims to have been the costume designer on movies which were costumed designed by Edith Head.
He also claims to have retired at 38. If I am reading his resume correctly, that means he was the direct of food and beverage for the Westin Hotel when he was 14.

http://www.cookingwithcarlo.com/pages/bio.htmlHon, I don't think you can read, actually. Carlo was born in the early '40s and was at the Westin Hotel around 1967, that would make him 25+ at the time. He retired around 1979. I don't see that Carlo claimed to be the Head Costume Designer, who would be the one to gets the credit.
Why don't you tell us about your credentials.
BTW, I put together Carlo's web site, so you can put the blame on me if there are any inaccuracies.
All: As far as I can see, Carlo has given employment to thousands of Americans, as well as some immigrants. He wasn't looking for cheap labor, just people to do the job.
