My Comments
I’ve interviewed Rocco several times and have found him to be remarkably genuine, self-effacing, introspective and strangely smart. He gets a bad rap mostly because he is edited that way. It is a far sexier story to have a disingenuous, disengaged, Rodinesque-looking dumb chef, than it is to have a down-to-earth, rags-to-riches story of a kid from an immigrant family who is busy embracing the promises and profits of a true meritocracy. Give the guy a break; he’s from Jamaica, Queens!
