"Talking up a storm about food is so easy for me, it’s second nature." ― Rocco DiSpirito Topic(s): Food More From Rocco DiSpirito "I came literally to the table with a wealth of knowledge by simply understanding how food should taste." "Be curious, learn and read as much as you can about food. Don’t worry about making money. Focus on learning at various venues before you settle down for a steady position." "As a restaurateur, my job is to basically control the chaos and the drama. There’s always going to be chaos in the restaurant business." More In Food "In my travels, I also noticed that kids in Thailand like spicy food, and kids in India love curry. I’m hoping to introduce my son, Hudson, to lots of veggies and spices when he’s young. I say that before he’s started on solid foods, so it could be easier in theory than practice!"― Curtis Stone "Translation is the art of failure."― Umberto Eco "I like L.A. It’s like a mini break. For a writer, it’s hilarious. Like the food. Where I come from, we eat chip sandwiches: white bread, butter, tomato catsup and big fat french fries. It’s delicious. Here, you order a creme caramel and the waiter says, ‘You know, that contains dairy.’"― Helen Fielding
