He jokes about his Italian grandmother on Iron Chef America all the time. Maybe that's a decent clue.

Wikepedia states his full name is Maurice Alberto Rocca. FamiySearch shows quite a few Rocca from Italy. Some from Louisiana.
Ancestry.Com shows 130 Rocca immigrants from Italy, 13 from Germany,
11 from Switzerland(Switzerland is divided between German, Italian and French speaking areas), 7 from France, 2 from Naples, Italy, 2 from Sardinia.
Chances are his paternal ancesty, at least, is Italian.
