Chicago Mob Wives Rejected by Gene and Georghetti's
The owner of Gene and Georgetti's steakhouse apparently has a big beef with a new show.
The producers of VH1's "Mob Wives" recently approached restaurant owner Tony Durpetti to ask if they could film in his restaurant for a Chicago spin-off, reported the Sun-Times.
He gave them a big fat no.
Louis H. Rago, president of the Italian American Human Relations Foundation of Chicago, praised the decision, saying he is tired of negative stereotypes about Italians on television.

Other Chicago restaurant owners also have said they would not participate with the show.
