Rocco is <>. Actually, he seems like an alcoholic. When Laurent caught up with him in his office (when he was supposed to be cooking) he looked like he was drunk. <314>

Reading through this thread has reminded me that I totally forgot to watch the new episode of Jamie's Kitchen yesterday. I don't see the thread for it anymore. Did anyone get to see it? In the last episode he was having problems with his restaurant, too, and from the synopsis it sounds like things only got worse.

Darn - I totally forgot these episodes were on. Anyone know if they'll be rerun on one of the affiliates? Although from what everyone has written, it sounds like I save myself a headache. LOL

Curly, I watched part of it, it was sad, Jamie was upset that they were not consistent in attendance... they showed his family, his wife has a baby on the way

What really got to me about this whole situation about firing Tony, was that when he went to Jeffrey's office is that he said that the last thing he did was cook for Mama and was happy about that.. It really shows what a nice person he is.. Rocco is another story as we all know and agree upon.. Wonder if his attitude or even the way he was profiled last season was the reason we don't see him on FoodTV anymore.. hhhmmm....

about tony being fired. i think mama thought jeffery had fired tony. and she said she was mad and it just wasn't right. then spoiled can do no wrong son rocco is the culprit and she doesn't say anything. just like when rocco brought mama to the meeting. jeffery called him on it. like how can we have a true put it all out there conversation when your mother is right here. that was a very good point. he hides behind his mother. that woman appears to work 10 x's harder then her boy.

I thought that it was inappropriate for Jeffery to give Tony the raise without consulting Rocco just like Rocco should not have fired Tony without consulting Jeffery. It is pretty common for employers to clean out desks and lockers and not want terminated employee to disrupt. The whole thing is a childish deal or a male p****ing contest. He should have told Rocco smaller stools more business. Plus I loved how Rocco automatically assumed the chairs were over 1,000 each, that shows he goes High end. Rocco needs to grow up and be involved in the business or just accept he is there for eye candy. and they both need to stop bad mouthing each other to employees , that just spreads disease. I have been an business operater for over 20 years and flapping jaws and gossip kills. Rocco needs to count lucky stars someone hasnt sued him for harrassement Lastly, I remember last year going on about the Miller sponsorship, I believe Mitsubishi is sponsoring this year

Ocean- Rocco isn't an alcoholic, he goes the other direction. I thought the 5th show was the best one of the bunch. Some real conflict and drama. Too bad the others were not as good. That said, I really HATED this series. The audio was bad, and there wasn't a single person to really root for. No wonder the restaurant went out of business. Rocco didn't do his part. (Oh... did anyone else notice that the "R" on his chef shirt seemed to come and go between edits? LOL - That is because they had to go back and re-shoot some scenes WAY after the fact. They didn't match the chef shirt. Poor filmaking.)

Did the restaurant go out of business? If so I guess I am out of the loop.

Ocean I went into the City a couple weeks ago and it was still open. But I did not eat there! And really when you think about it why would any of us... the service is terrible, the food is expensive, and all that drama sheesh. {And well they seem always to be pushing Octopus! YUCK Which is another reason lol}

Well I just read a fascinating article here: link I have to say, I am in shock -- shocked to learn that Rocco is selling merchandise on the Shopping Channel! I predicted virtually exactly that same thing last year in my article on RealityNewsOnline. Don't believe me? Look here: link. Ok, I said infomercial, but that's basically the same thing!

I've never seen so many people stick their fingers into the food and then lick their fingers. The kitchen scenes were just gross. Will put me off restaurant food for at least a week.

Ocean he has been on The View hocking his cookware. He also told the visiting Chef {the one from Italy} to check out his pans....and the pan was one of his. Also thanks for that link...the news story one. I enjoyed reading it.

OI: Thanks for the link to the article. It was a fascinating read. The writer really detailed a lot of things well. It was a well-researched piece that answered many questions I had. After reading that piece, I feel a bit sorry for Rocco. Sure, he'll be in the public eye for awhile. But soon people will forget him. I hope he's investing all the money he's making wisely because, one day, he'll have nothing--no fame and no reputation.

Tobor how do you know Rocco is an alcoholic or not? I dont think it matters, but I was curious. Thanks OI for the research, and Broxi, exactly - who would eat there? We've always questioned those tacky menus, and these shows have the wait staff questioning what kind of rest. is this anyway (upscale, diner...) I think he definately is trying to cash in on his fifteen minutes of fame. and I think Tishala can attest to the fact, many things that go on in rest. we just dont want to know about!!

OI that first link seems to suggest that Jeffery gets money from the show, and yet, the smoking gun scanned the papers from Rocco that says Jeffery knew he wasnt getting paid... not that its a big deal, just an interesting battle...

Reader: I noticed that too. I think, what the legal documents meant was that Jeffrey doesn't make a profit from the show but, as the article said, he got paid (like an employee) for being on the show. Does that make sense?
