Rocco DiSpirito has had his share of life-changing moments. He's been named Food & Wine's Best New Chef, earned 3 stars from NYT food critic Ruth Reichl, and even graced the pages of People Magazine's Sexiest Men Alive. But it was in the backyard garden of his grandmother's house where his life-changing love of food began–and perhaps still resides. In this episode, Rocco takes us from Long Island to the Lower East Side, from the hills of Campagnia to tables of Paris with stories that reveal an essential truth about food: our connection to ingredients, process, people, and place are at the core of any unforgettable meal.
