Has anybody been watching this? I didn't get to see the last episode but I heard it was pretty good. I am surprised that there is only one episode left though.

I have been watching this for a while now..great reality show.
Seriously I have learned alot about the restaurant biz, enjoyed the people on it also..probably the most "REAL" of any reality show I have followed.
I drove by it two weeks ago its in a great location..I'd like to go grab a bite soon just for shits & giggles

I am planning on going to eat there soon as well. Since I am in Culinary school I have heard a lot about this, because all the chefs at my school really look down at TV Chefs because they think a lot of them are sell outs. Not all but most. And as for Rocco they really think he made a bad decision doing this because he was the Executive Chef at Union Square Cafe and could have easily gotten a 4 Star rating there soon, and gave that up to do this. Getting a 4 Star rating is huge and to the Chefs at my school, its a much bigger accomplishment than getting a TV show. But I still wanna check it out, I don't feel the same way as the mean French and European Chefs at my school.

I have been watching this and I love the show. I love cooking gourmet food myself.
As for Rocko I think he made a great decision, that place is packed every night because of the TV show. I'm thinking of going there myself soon.

My sister was there a few weeks ago and she said that she wasn't too impressed with the food at all. (However she did NOT have one of Momma's famous meatballs!) ;)
This is the only reality show that I truly like. As Eleni mentioned earlier, it is the only one that's actually "real" and plus, Rocco ain't too bad to look at! :flickTong

Rocco is lovin this because he is a celebrity now. But he is not a respected chef like he used to be. I wouldn't mind working there though, this kid in my class, his girlfriend is Emily the Matrie' De that has blonde hair and the English accent. She is making about 60,000 a year and is on tv, not bad.
