Here’s another whopper! With nine different mystery mobsters.

Mob guys love their nicknames. All types of crazy nicknames. One of the most popular nicknames was related to different foods. And based on the Italian culture and their love affair with food, and how much mafiosi love to cook and eat, it all makes perfect sense, no?

This next challenge involves nine different mafiosi, from six separate Cosa Nostra Families. Each man had a nickname related to food.

Your job? — “should you choose to accept it” — is to identify the first and last name of each mafiosi, then match the (letter) of their nickname to the corresponding (number) of the Family or city they were affiliated with.

A) Chips
B) Charlie Bananas
C) Joe Olives
D) Vinny Beans
E) Gumbo
F) Sammy Meatballs
G) Beansie
H) Stevie Beef
I) Johnny Bananas

1) Bonanno
2) Chicago
3) Chicago
4) Colombo
5) Colombo
6) Genovese
7) Genovese
8) Kansas City
9) Lucchese

Any ideas, fellas?

A-5- Armando (Chips) DeCostanza - Colombo Soldier - Orena Faction
B-6- Carmelo (Charlie Bananas) Coppolino - Genovese Soldier
C-5 - Giuseppe (Joe Olivesj Profaci -
G-9 - Steven (Beansie) Dellacava Lucchese Associate
F-7 - Salvatore (Sammy Meatballs) Aparo - Genovese Acting Capo/Soldier
H-1 - Stefano (Stevie Beef) Cannone - Bonanno Street Boss
I-2 - John (Johnny Bananas) DiFronzo - Chicago Outfit Underboss/Street Boss
D-8 - Vincent (Beansie) Inzerillo - Kansas City Mob Soldier
E-3 - Frank (Gumbo/Gumba) Paladino - Chicago Outfit Soldier

Split verdict on this one. 5 solid hits, 4 respectable misses. Here’s the lineup:

You nailed these 5:

H-1 was Stefano “Stevie Beef” Cannone (Bonanno)
E-3 was Frank “Gumbo” Saladino (Chicago)
A-5 was Armando “Chips” DiCostanzo (Colombo)
B-6 was Charles “Charlie Bananas” Coppolino (Genovese)
F-7 was Salvatore “Sammy Meatballs” Aparo (Genovese)

Note: The actual surname for E-3 was Saladino, not Paladino. But I understood who you meant, so thats a hit.

G-4 was Frank “Beansie” Melli (Colombo)
C-8 was Joseph “Joe Olives” Olivo (Kansas City)
D- 9 was Vincent “Vinny Beans” Foceri (Lucchese)

Nonetheless, you banged out a lot of these guys. So, kudos to you once again! Good job.

This challenge is fully baked. We're done....So onward and forward to the next.

I did say Vinny Foceri another Forum but did more research and found another Vinny Beans I should’ve kept my first choice SMH and I did mean to say Frank Salandino
Not Palladino so I got that Wrong your saying

You got Saladino correct. I knew who you were talking about.

And yes, lol, I saw that about Vinny Beans and said to myself, he should have listed Foceri like you did last time. But no harm, no foul. You still banged out a lot of them.

PS: I see that I'm gonna have to start "upping" my game with you. You're getting too good. lol

Thank you that’s Good to know
