PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

>Garden. The menu (with prices) is on NBC.com: http://www.nbc.com/nbc/The_Restaurant/menu.shtml >Also, how much do you think Rocco is regetting his decision
>to do this TV show this morning There was an article a week or two ago with Rocco saying he's glad the show filming is over, it's great publicity (this was before the show aired) but the camera crew were always in the way, disrupting the guests, etc. My biggest issue was the fire extinguisher part -- I can't believe they continued to serve the food that was on the nearby counters (and by one staff member's mention, covered with fire extinguisher foam dust) to the customers. Ya, I've heard the restaurant horror stories and I could maybe see that happening in some crappy restaurant, but you'd like to think that wouldn't happen in a nice place, and certainly have to wonder what the hell were they thinking when the cameras were there to film it all. My other ongoing issue is exactly what is Rocco's role in this place??? He's not the money man... he doesn't seem to be the head chef (did anyone actually see him cooking anything?) -- he admits he really doesn't know much about cooking Italian food -- he seems to be little more than a figurehead. And what qualifies his mother to be a "head chef" -- what's her background? Why would a 78 year old woman want to deal with this? Does she actually do anything other than preparing the meatballs? -SB

3. "RE: Would you eat at "The Restaurant"?" |
Just so ya know... the ingredients of most "dry chemical" fire extinguishers... is nothing but baking soda and some inert ingredients to keep it dry.It's edible, too. Once, at a hospital where I worked during the summer, they had the required fire training. After everyone had used the extinguisher, I stunned them by taking some of the powder on my finger and licking it (yes, I read the label first). As to restaurants and what they serve... you may not want to know. I've heard many stories of French restaurant waiters spitting in the soup of American patrons (and, seeing the anti-American actions of France vis-a-vis Iraq, I really want to believe these stories). And yes, many restaurants, American ones too, they'll serve just about anything, even if it hit the floor on the way to the table! Those Cajun "delicacies" like blackened swordfish... came to be because they kept burning the food at this restaurant... so they just called it "blackened" and actually started feeding it to the guests!

Also on the fire extingusher: where exactly was it? Shouldn't they be keeping it in the kitchen? After all, they apparently have a wood burning oven as well as the grills. And why did it take 3 people to find it?

I can't say that I definitely wouldn't eat at the restaurant. We can't really judge or criticize this place when we have never experienced it first-handedly. We all know what editing does to a show. They show all the bad parts and make it worse than it really is!
