Liza Minnelli, Alan Cumming, et al. to Make an Appearance on ROCCO'S DINNER PARTY, 8/17

Join celebrity chef Rocco DiSpirito Wednesday, August 17 at 11pm ET/PT for a taste of his exclusive New York City parties on "Rocco's Dinner Party." In this week's episode, DiSpirito hosts a dinner featuring Sam Harris with Liza Minnelli along with Sandra Bernhard, Alan Cumming, Marvin Hamlisch, Kenneth Cole and more! Tune in to Bravo on August 17 to check it out!

Each week, three new chefs have one shot at impressing DiSpirito by cooking their signature dish. The two strongest will advance to the next round, where they are challenged to develop a full menu in competing dinner parties. Yet food is only half the battle. Allowed one consultation with Jes Gordan, celebrity event producer, the chefs must also design a unique party concept, as décor and ambiance will be judged alongside their food. Each episode will have a theme for which the chefs must base their meal and dining experience around. Which party will be a scrumptious soiree and which a flavorless fiasco? DiSpirito will decide.
