NJ SPICE

On March 3, 7:00pm, Barnes & Noble Princeton hosts chef Rocco DiSpirito in an author discussion & signing event with his new cookbook, “Now Eat This!: 150 of America’s Favorite Comfort Foods, All Under 350 Calories.”

Already a highly-rated chef, DiSpirito catapulted to television fame in 2004 with his NBC reality television series “The Restaurant,” which followed him and his mother during the the opening of their restaurant, Rocco’s 22nd Street.  He crashed and burned with that endeavor (a little fame goes a long way, right?), but has gone on to a become a regular on numerous TV shows, including a stint on “Dancing With the Stars.” A man of many talents!
