Ya'Eat Cooking Channel with Chef Dave Ciccolella - Italian and Seafood Recipes. When I was a kid, my Mom, Dad, and fellow Italian friends were always concerned if you had enough food to eat, and instead of saying “Did You Eat” with a combination of Italian and North Jersey accents, it was transformed into... Ya’Eat. (YaEat, Ya Eat) My name is Dave Ciccolella and I have been cooking for over 40 years. I am a culinary graduate and at the age of 22, I was an executive chef at a Crab and Seafood Restaurant in Bergen County, New Jersey. For years people have been asking me to open a restaurant
