If I remember correctly, there was some illegality involved in the restaurant.
They were going to replace the man who invented conservative talk radio with a cooking show hosted by an animal rights activist?
Somebody other than Rocco needs to be fired.
Oh, and the author of this piece used to be program director at WABC when Bob Grant used to work there.
He's against people wearing fur, but he cooks slaughtered animals for a living.
His radio show left me wondering if he was sampling the cooking sherry or sniffing something more potent.
I was rooting for Jeffrey Chodorow by the third episode of The Restaurant (the only reality show I've ever watched, and I regret the loss of my time).
I mean, post #11 nails it. Anyone who has the kind of total cognitive disconnect that can whine about fur wearers while braising a veal cutlet is FUBAR in the head.
Arthur Schwartz is laughing somewhere right now, I'm sure. (Rocco replaced Arthur as the host of the 11 am show.)
I hate PETA types. They make me want to get a big fur coat and dress like a pimp just to tick them off. Maybe I'll compromise and buy a nice fur hat.
Rocco is a rube. That POS wouldn't stand up ten minutes in a real kitchen.
Rocco DeSpirito could have had it all...he just began believing his own press. The show THE RESTAURANT was one of the best reality shows on TV...it ended because it ended in real life...he was a jerk...and it showed. It was like watching a car accident, you couldn't look away, although you wanted to.
