Carmine’s Chianti Cow has been owned and operated by chef Keith O’Connor and his wife Lisa for the past 20 years.
During the makeover, which took place back in September 2019, Carmine’s was renamed Chianti Cow.
In an interview with a local media outlet, owner Keith O’Connor told the Record Online that “changing the restaurant’s name is something he and his wife had wanted to do for a long time, but wanted any name change to happen when updates were made to the restaurant. It just never seemed to be the right time.”
According to the episode synopsis, “Robert Irvine meets an owner whose identity crisis is threatening his restaurant. Stuck in a rut serving the same food as the previous owner, Chef Keith needs a wake-up call or this potential small-town gem is doomed to close.”
