Rocco DiSpirito on "Dancing With the Stars" Say it ain't so

But alas, it is. I was pretty sure after shilling for Barilla that he had sunk to the bottom. Seems he dug himself a new hole. Bourdain's gonna have a field day with this one.

Hopefully, he's better at Dancing than he was at Red Sauce.

I ate at Union Pacific a few times, which was his stepping stone to reality TV, and was thoroughly unimpressed. I think that the NY Food Press fell much more for his image than it did his food.

Anybody see the "No Reservations" from Paris? Bourdain stands in front of a store that for some reason has a display of dead rats. He announces that it's Rocco's newest restaurant. Hilarious.

Yeah, I saw that. Was there an episode of Top Chef where they were on at the same time? I forget.

Yes, the first episode of this past season. I'm not sure what the full backstory is, but they seemed to get along fairly well.

I've never watched more than a few minutes of Dancing with the Stars, but I found the the Rocco DiSpirito announcement hilarious. A friend and I have actually made a bet. Friend said Rocco would definitely be one of the first three people booted. I say Rocco makes it through at least five eliminations. We'll see!
