Anyone watching the Restaurant? (there might be spoilers in responses)

Did you see last night's episode? what did you think?

Give me a little recap - I just could not keep my eyes open to watch it.

Ugggh! I had that feeling I was forgetting something last night - I missed it. I love that show. Yes, recap please?

I watched part of it. I kept flipping between that and Airline. I didn't realize the restaurant was owned by a corporation but the corporate guy hit the nail on the head when he said Rocco was more interested in being a celebrity than in running a restaurant. The guy (Rocco) has an ego the size of Mt. Everest.

Rocco seems like a spoiled brat.

Nothing too earth-shattering last night. The intern Drew was fired because he got in the way and called Rocco - can I type this? - a douchbag - I don't even know if that's how you spell it. Sorry if I'm not supposed to type that.

Rocco spent a lot of time flirting with girls and doing book signings. All the staff is complaining about how they never see him.

Jeffery and Rocco had a meeting and Rocco can't handle anyone telling him that he isn't doing a good job. He basically just said "whatever" to anything Jeffery said. Jeffery said something about sending the financial statement every month and Rocco claims to have never seen it. Even though the manager - what the heck is his name? Lamont or something, has seen it, Rocco says he never has.

Wow, everyone had an attitude last night.

First was that intern who thought he could do and say anything he wanted. He told Jeffrey what he wanted to hear and played innocent. It was all Rocco's fault. He had one big nerve to start mixing drinks behind the bar too, underage and all. Was this a Frat party or a restaurant? I was happy to see Jeffrey boot his butt out the door.

Then there was Rocco, indeed a spoiled brat. He is looking for fame and way more interested in self promotion. After his promo tours he has the nerve to walk through the kitchen and start giving orders.

What's up with the new bartender and waitress also? The bartender was just rude and lazy. The waitress seemed clueless about what her job should be.

I'm waiting for the episode where the pasta gets dumped in the kitchen.

This season is shaping up to be great. The more I find out about Rocco the less I like him, get to work you bum!

 

[TinkBoo&ElliesMum]

Yes! I watched and ended up talking back to the TV for most of it.

Ok, Drew - I want to pop him one in the nose. The boy is annoying! He only got the internship because his parents are friends of Jefferys. He crossed the line on so many occasions it's amazing he was still standing at the end of the day.

New bartender - ICK!! What was with all the girls hanging around him, ewwwwwww! And the way he was chewing the gum - blech!

Rocco, Momma needs to smack him around a little, he's out of control!

Can't wait for next week......

I laughed when Drew talked about his 15 years of experience and then we find out he's only 20 years old. And Jeffrey and his people repeatedly told him to just watch and he butt in every place he could.

Rocco was acting like a spoiled child. He breezed into the restaurant and made an appearance and then was out again. I like how they kept saying his book is "flying off store shelves." At this point I certainly don't want it.

On the first episode I was anti-Jeffrey and thought he was the bad guy, but now we see that Rocco needs tons of help.

I feel bad for the visiting chef from Italy -- what's he there for anyway?
