Ralph Perrazzo is an Italian American chef.

His restaurant, bBd's (Beers, Burgers, Desserts) was the New York City Wine & Food Festival's 2015 Burger Bash Winner[1] and was included in Newsday's Top Long Island Restaurants in 2014, 2015 and 2016.[2][3][4]

He cooked at the Life Is Beautiful Music & Art Festival official kick-off party, Grills & Guitars in 2016 where he was noticed for his pickle fries and steamed burgers.[5][6][7] Perrazzo has also been recognized for his ramen.[8][9]

In 2020, Perrazzo started focusing on his new artisan line of hot dogs and his hot dog company, Snap-O-Razzo Hot Dogs.

Biography[edit]

Perrazzo opened his first restaurant, bBd's in Rocky Point on Long Island, New York where it garnered recognition as a neighborhood burger joint with a high quality craft beer selection.[10][11]

In 2018, he closed bBd's in Rocky Point[12] and opened bBd's in Palace Station hotel and casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, later becoming recognized by Las Vegas Weekly as one of Las Vegas’ Best New Restaurants[13] and “one of the best places to eat in Vegas” by Food & Wine. [14][15][16]

As of 2022, Perrazzo moved bBd's to the Las Vegas Strip[17] and began focusing on distributing his Snap-O-Razzo Hot Dogs nationwide and internationally.[18]

Snap-O-Razzo, ever since its establishment, had spread out across the entire United States. Two of Perrazzo’s non-cased Spinner Snaps, Juicy's Beef Wieners and Roasted Jalapeno Wieners, are available in Kroger stores – Smith's Food and Drug, King Soopers, and City Market (US grocery store chain) – in Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming since January 2023.
