Hey all. Well what a year 2009 is setting out to be. It's been so much fun watching my show,"Will Work For Food" out here in California (a really nice place to visit if you haven't already). I think my favorite episodes have been some of the later segments we shot such as Oyster harvester, Chocolate dress maker, Cajun Caviar and Truffle Forager. I can tell the differences in my performance dramatically from the beginning of the shoot to the end. It kind of makes me cringe a little to watch some of the earlier segments. Man, I didn't know hosting a TV show was going to be so tough. You really have to know when to do more, be more energetic as well as when to just do less and be yourself. I'm certainly not complaining in any manner of speaking. Working on this show has been a lifelong dream come true and I am so grateful to Food Network for seeing some potential in me. Bob Tuschman, I'm a fan.
I've loved food since I can remember and having the opportunity to see these jobs first hand has opened my mind to a whole new way of looking at food and eating as well as cooking and being responsible about what we choose to eat. I'm not saying I'm going vegetarian or relinquishing my cheeseburger any time soon, bit I do think its important to know where your food comes I got to farm abalone, milk goats for cheese, dig wine caves, make caviar, extract honey and more importantly, meet the people responsible. I say it a lot, but eating any of these things will never be the same for me.
As for me. Well, I've got a bunch of cool Food Network projects coming up that I'm super psyched about like more episodes of "The Best Thing I Ever Ate" as well as being "The Armchair Judge" for "Next Food Network Star 5" on Foodnetwork.com. Plus more stuff on the horizon. keep checking back here as I'm committing to more blogging!
