Does Anyone watch "THE RESTAURANT?"

[Hnymoon@Dixie]

I caught this show last night & I'm sorry, but I think Rocco is a JERK! His personality makes his good looks null & void! I know he's a chef but he should have had a little more business training! There is a "learning curve" when you are new at something, but gosh! When you own a business you need to be hands on with the employees & managment & not just the customers!

Any other comments?!?!?

Never has a person on a reality show made me soo mad!!!!!!!!

I posted on this earlier today also, because I thought he was a jerk too (other words can't be used here). I also think that guy who broke his arm should sue him! Everyone sues for everything nowadays anyway, and Rocco didn't even care...he thinks he's faking it! And its all caught on tape. Some of the stuff is fake, mentioning American Express. I would never eat at his restaurant. He is really full of himself.

I didn't see your thread from earlier, I should have looked further back! One thing is for sure though, I'll keep tuning in to watch his staff tell him off. He needs to take a big-old bite of humble pie!

The sad thing is that his staff is willing to work their butts off and THEY CARE ABOUT THE RESTAURANT...enough to stay into the wee hours to talk about the identity crisis. OK so the staff may be making some bads judgement calls, but if Rocco could harness that energy he would have a first rate place.

Did anyone else notice that when something went wrong at a table Rocco was quick with the quips and charm, short on the apologies and solutions?

When dealing with customer complaints he should take the blame for everything and do whatever he can to make it right when he is talking to the customer. He should then go to the waitstaff, bussers, etc. and find out what the problem is. He shouldn't just be passing the blame onto the waiter.

All I kept saying was "ew" and "is he serious" cause I don't think Rocco is such a great guy and he thinks he is. That could be a problem...in a way I was happy that the place was having some probs so that maybe he will realize what's going on. I do love some of the staff. That Topher is hysterical. I can't wait to find out what happens to the place.

Rocco may be a good chef, but he has no clue how to treat his staff or his customers!

As soon as the manager realized that there was a problem with Topher's card to place orders, that problem should have been rectified. All it did was create additional problems for the rest of the night!

Still fun to watch though.
