Me, Marisa Tomei, Dan Cortese, and Rocco Dispirito

If you’ve been a reader of mine since 2008, then you’ll recall the time I hung out with Rocco Dispirito. It was glorious to watch him cook and charm us gals to no end.   Since then, I’ve had several encounters with various celebrities including the lovely Paula Deen but this time around, I’m getting to spend some time with the beautiful & sweet Marisa Tomei, very funny Dan Cortese and Mr. Charming himself–Rocco.

The proud sponsor, Bertolli, presents a new branded webisode series “Into the Heart of Italy” where these three fine people will be sharing their journey of finding the secrets of Italy’s best culinary recipes.  I get to be there for a NYC lunch & premiere and I’m so excited that I’m about to pee my pants.

Disclosure:  The PR firm, Zocalo Group, is handling my all expense paid trip to the NYC event premiere of Into the Heart of Italy. As always, this doesn’t sway my opinions in any way. I freakin’ love these guys and Bertolli so it’s a match made in heaven.
