Gothamist has a friend whose cousin is the kitchen manager at Rocco DiSpirito's new restaurant/reality TV show. (That means that, like, if he were on Friendster? He'd be, like, one Friendster away from Gothamist?) He says that he asked not to be filmed. Clearly they didn't listen. Or didn't comply.
