Rocco DiSpirito: Super Duper Bowl

By JULIETTE ROSSANT Don't touch that dial! If you thought that Super Bowl XXXIX was big time, wait till you hear about this. Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen, let your children do the walking when it comes to channel surfing, because Disney's "Super Duper Bowl," an annual event for the "little people" (and I don't mean hobbits) is airing tonight, 5:00-8:00 p.m. ET/PT, on the Disney Channel And guess what Foodie is the honored guest at Half Time (6:00-6:30 p.m.)? That's right, Rocco DiSpirito -- if you don't believe me, check it out for yourself! Those of you who miss Rocco on The Restaurant have no need to thank me -- Disney, ever the arbiter of good taste and family values in America, proves once again that it can cater to your every need and whim. So, don't miss Rocco as "The Baker" in a premiere episode called "Patty Cake; Coach" on Higglytown Heroes. (And you thought I was going to talk about Rocco's appearance on the Tony Danza Show - hah!) You'll forgive the pun, but, Rocco, isn't this just a bit Mickey Mouse for you? Besides, are you sure there is room for two chef-cum-TV star mice in the Disney empire? Not to mention the fact that Wolfgang Puck and Joachim Splichal are big, long-time Disney chef partners... Actually, I have only one concern in all this (beyond the direction of Rocco's career): does Disney know about the "f" word? Previous articles: "F" is for... "Rocco"?
