2011 Miss America Pageant Contestants Have Fun At Buca di Beppo
2011 Miss America Pageant contestants have fun at Buca di Beppo Las Vegas Italian restaurant Saturday, January 8, 2011. The 53 Miss America contestants showed up with sash and crown, ready for a fun evening in royal style.
During their dining experience, the Miss America contestants, including Miss Nevada, Cris Crotz, joined Buca di Beppo Paisano Partner Ryan Smith as he helped them with their Italian cooking techniques.
The beauties then ended with a taste test from colossal proportions.
Following the cooking demonstration, the crowned contestants dined on family-style Italian cuisine such as Chicken Limone, Mozzarella Caprese, and Spaghetti with Meatballs.
For dessert, the ladies enjoyed a bevy of sweet treats including Buca’s famous Colossal Brownie Sundae. The iconic Miss America pageant takes place at the Planet Hollywood Resort inside the Theatre for the Performing Arts and will air live on ABC on January 15, 2011.
