Chef Antonia Lofaso is the Executive Chef and Owner of three acclaimed Los Angeles Restaurants-Black Market Liquor Bar (Studio City, California),Scopa Italian Roots (Venice, California), and DAMA(Downtown Los Angeles, California).Though diverse in cuisine and style, each of her restaurants combines deep-rooted, personal culinary traditions with the influence of her globetrotting adventures and formal French training.

She’s best known as the Co-Host of Worst Cooks in America: Celebrity Edition–Heroes vs. Villains, and the Host of Beachside Brawl.
