## Biography

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.

In 2018, he closed bBd's in Rocky Point 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 and “one of the best places to eat in Vegas” by Food & Wine.

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

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.
