"Ask Robin Marcellino how she came to fall in love with her husband, Chef John Marcellino, and she responds, "It was a type of energy he exudes. It's just very interesting and a lot of fun. He's so upbeat and energetic."

Upbeat energy defines Chef John Marcellino.

It's there in his interaction with customers at the Roche Brothers supermarket in Mashpee, where he puts on cooking demonstrations three days a week.

It's there in the cooking show he does with his wife, Cape Cod Cooking, which can be seen on Comcast and at the Roche Brothers Web site.

It's there when he talks about his life, or cooking, or the Mashpee Wampanoag, of which he is a member.

Cooking and enthusiasm infuse his life.

"I have been in the restaurant business forever," Chef John said. "I started out washing dishes. I think I was about 13.""
