Michael Ayoub – Chef & Owner

ISCO Master Chef

Michael Ayoub will work with each Firefighter to take their dish up a notch at Fornino Pier 6 Brooklyn Bridge Park and brought to you via a live stream aired on October 25th. Michael is a Brooklyn native and chef for over 45 years. Michael, known for such renowned restaurants as Skaffles and Cucina, was destined to bring his wood-fired pizza concept to Brooklyn. Taken from his mother’s maiden name, Fornino or Little Oven expresses Michael’s true calling, combining his love of pizza with his decades of culinary experience.​ The heat from the custom-built wood-burning ovens that reach 900 Degrees was not hot enough for Michael. When not dreaming up culinary wonders, he takes his talents to even higher temperatures…as an accomplished glass artist.”
