    Rocco's Dinner Party (2011)

    Grab a glass and have a seat for a recap, review, and analysis of “Rocco’s Dinner Party,” a 2011 reality competition on Bravo from the creators of Chopped. This show is all about challenging chefs to design, plan, and execute themed dinner parties for celebrity chef Rocco DiSpirito and his friends. I also give a lesson in sociology. Have a listen and you might be surprised about some of the celebrity guests that show up in this strange little show! Follow the pod on social media!
