2008 NYC Wine & Food Fest: Grand Tasting

Rocco DiSpirito

Rocco DiSpirito rocked the Bertolli booth. His fave among the company’s new bake-and-eat meals? “Chicken Parm,” he said. “I had it last night, as a matter of fact. It’s a comfort food for me. I learned how to make it at one of the first places I worked when I was 15 or 16 years old. It was kind of a big deal. I felt I’d accomplished something as a chef, and I’ve always loved it.”
