"Ro   cco DiSpirito has come a long way since his days of the NBC show The Restaurant. Although I loved the show when it was on, purely to see all the behind-the-scenes stuff, I hated how he acted on the show. He has certainly learned a lot since then, and he&amp;#039;s a kinder, gentler version of the old Rocco.  Rocco Dispirito 2.0.  Recently he was on an episode of Rachael Ray&amp;#039;s talk show, with a panel of other celebrity chefs, fielding questions from the audience on how to handle holiday cooking disasters. During the segment, he extolled the virtues of the sweet potato. He proclaimed it the best, most nutritionally sound vegetable you could possibly eat. I don&amp;#039;t know about you, but that&amp;#039;s all I need to hear. I prefer mine baked and then finished with a little bit of melted butter and cinnamon sugar.  While on the show, he shared a sweet potato recipe for Thanksgiving Egg Cake that you might want to check out. Want more Rocco? He&amp;#039;s going to be at the Bookends bookstore this Saturday, signing copies of his latest book, Rocco Gets Real. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
