My rebbe rav belsky didn’t quote many chassidishe rebbes, with the exception of three that I can remember. One was the Satmar rov, who he lived near to when he grew up in williamsburg. When Rav Belsky was a child, he sold some food or drink; lemonade stand type of thing. A discussion among some people broke out if the food was kosher, for some reason. The satmar rov knew rav belsky’s family (his father learned by the chofetz chaim) and trusted them. He personally bought from the stand to show everyone that it was kosher!
