Tonya Plank: Poor Rocco DiSpirito: Food and Dance Just Don't Mix

It's so true though: the lives of food gourmet and dancer are just diametrically opposed; they're two different pleasures that don't go together.

Oh good more Rocco on reality TV. He has managed to find his way on to every reality show for the last 5 years. He is the Snooki of food shows. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if he hasn't found his way onto Jersey Shore. Talentless attention wh@re.

I feel the need to apologize to Snooki for my comment. She didn't do anything to deserve that.

BORING!!! "The Restaurant" was a painful exercise---all two episodes I was able to stomach.

I won't be watching this outing either. Va!

The arrogance, bad manners, and downright cruelty to his employees DiSpirito exhibited in his earlier show guarantees I will not be watching this new one. I don't watch that English monster on BBC America either. That kind of behavior is uncalled for under ANY circumstances and has been proven time and again to be counterproductive to a successful working environment.

The show the Restaurant showed how much he cared for his business, he was more interested in other things than cooking and running the show

Rocco is more about his image and his hair than anything else. I will definitely not watch.

Rocco is so over rated... I dont know why anyone would give him air time again.. he isn't that likable since his arrogance outshines his so called talent.
I guess he is wanting to do an Anthony Bourdain and try and seem clever but really isn't, when it comes down to it.

You would think these tools would do something worthwhile besides mug for a camera.

The new Cooking channel is rerunning, at a weird hour, some programs he did with Iron Chef Cat Cora years ago. She's very nice to him and he's reasonably well-behaved, but her skills and knowledge are so superior to his he should be embarrassed the program is still running.
