Rocco DiSpirito

His image is smoking and his NBC show is on fire. No doubt about it, "The Restaurant's" Rocco DiSpirito is the hottest chef on the planet.

The "Today" show's Katie Couric and "Celebrity Justice" host Holly Herbert are getting caught up in the reality of Rocco mania. Even "Extra" found it hard not to swoon in the presence of a man so sweet, sexy, and so good in the kitchen. Rocco says, "The way to anyone's heart is through their stomach. What is more charming, more gracious, more sexy than someone feeding you, someone nurturing you? I mean what's better than that?"

Plenty of stars stop by Rocco's. "Extra" was the first to break ground and bread with him, and soon he'll be serving up celebrity dish with his own "Extra" segment called Rocco's Corner Table.

But while the man featured in People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive issue is getting a lot of off the menu attention. Sorry ladies, he told "Extra" that he's happily hooked up. He says, "I have a lovely girlfriend named Yvonne. She's an actress actually from Rome."

Rocco will keep spicing up Sundays with "The Restaurant" on NBC.
