I'm digging The Restaurant, the new reality show documenting the creation of Rocco's in New York City. I suspect the best is mostly over, at least in so much as getting a "real" look at how things go in the restaurant world. Customers had to apply for a table, telling the producers what they'd bring to the show. I'm sure the place was jammed with people proposing marriage, hiring and firing employees, coming out to their parents, and otherwise creating artificial "reality". So far, Rocco himself has come off as someone with no people/management skills, and his food has not appeared to go over well. Open only a day, Rocco's looks like a sinking ship.
But more importantly... is it just me, or is one of the waiters a dead ringer for the Jewish soldier from Saving Private Ryan?
