Wow this is quite a murky situation. Seems like there are about 50 stories on this, all different.

But didn't they do a feature last year on Mario's new restaurant? They showed it coming together from construction to opening. That was very interesting and stressful at the same time! That is one business I would never consider. I enjoy good restaurants and have a new appreciation for the people who run them.

Yes, I watched that. They even did a segment on his food products and other items he is selling now. Surely he must know he can't get the type of recognition he has with out the TV notoriety working to help him out.
