CHOP! CHOP! Anna Maria Santorelli, the owner of Anna Maria’s Restaurant is having some week. The same day that she was celebrating her fourth anniversary in Larchmont and receiving a New York State citation from Assembly Latimer declaring it “Anna Maria’s Restaurant Day,” she received the phone call for which she was hoping. It was the Food Network calling to let her know that she is a finalist for the television show Chopped hosted by foodie Tim Allen. If chosen, Anna Maria will compete with three other up-and-coming chefs to create extraordinary dishes from everyday ingredients. The winner takes home $10,000 and all the glory that comes with being a celebrity chef. In the meantime, catch Anna Maria today on WVOX (1460 AM) from 11 a.m. to noon. She’s talking food with host Michael Dandry.
