As a restaurateur, my job is to basically control the chaos and the drama. There's always going to be chaos in the restaurant business.
From Rocco DiSpirito
You have to stick out the toughness of the business and form relationships with the people in it.
After guest appearances, I got the offer to do the show as the successor of Arthur Schwartz. It's so much fun.
At times, it was an incredible blessing to have all the attention; at times it was a logistical nightmare.
Be curious, learn and read as much as you can about food. Don't worry about making money. Focus on learning at various venues before you settle down for a steady position.
Flavor Five is a book with recipes using five ingredients to possibly be cooked in just five minutes. It will be very user-friendly for the home cook on the run.
I came literally to the table with a wealth of knowledge by simply understanding how food should taste.
I can now focus on a huge audience through TV, books, cookware and foods.
I definitely think there was some overacting on the part of the customers and the wait staff. The people who came in during the shooting were clearly there to have a moment on television, and that's fine.
I wanted to share my life story and honor my roots. I am very proud of my family and mother.
