He was named Food & Wine magazine’s “Best New Chef,” and was the first chef to appear on Gourmet magazine’s cover as “America’s Most Exciting Young Chef.”

He has written fourteen books which have been translated into multiple language and sold the world over. A notably TV personality, he frequently appears as a special guest judge on Guy’s Grocery Games. He hosted the cooking competition show "Restaurant Divided" on Food Network and starred in "Rocco’s Dinner Party" on Bravo. An advocate for food issues, he is an Entertainment Council member for Feeding America and frequent volunteer at food banks.
