He should, hes done that, plus a lot more. As a restaurant consultant, his reputation is known throughout Utah, Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico and Texas. Luongo is now managing Salt Lake Citys Gaslight Theater. Before getting into the restaurant business, Luongo worked as a military photo- - grapher. His World War II travels with the Air Corp took him to the Nuremburg Trials in Germany and over Japan in the airplane that dropped the atom bomb in 1945. As far as making history, Luongo said his most interesting job was working the Nuremburg trials and photographing a German concentration camp near Munich. At one camp, Luongo said, he photographed the gas ovens where 600,000 Jews were put to death. My job in the service took me to a lot of interesting places, he said. What I saw and heard sometimes was a bit gruesome, but always intriguing. Luongo went to Berlin after the fall of the German war effort. While there he visited the boudoir of famed espionage agent Eva Braun. Braun must have been a sadist, he said.

Luongo left the Air Force in March, 1959 and went to work in Law Vegas, Nevada as a casino pit boss and a night club consultant. Since then, he has advised 40 different establishments on food service and management, menu planning, equipment layout and He has been awarded for budgeting. excellence by the Frozen Food Council, the International Restaurant Association, the Texas Restaurant Association and the Reno Chamber of Commerce.
