I was eating carmel corn today…not a stretch for me, because to know me is to know I love my popcorn. But this was something, dare I say special? Caramel corn with black pepper and bacon, yes bacon…and it was fabulous.
I’m on a new show… called foodCrafters…or Foodcrafters…or who really knows, we’re still working on it. We’re in production on a new show on a new channel. It’s the Cooking Channel….and the show is technically about artisianal food producers. Much, much different than working on my other show about eating extreme foods around the world….couldn’t be more different. Sweet people on foodCrafters, salt of the earth, who want nothing better than to give you gourmet deliciousness that they made with their own hands. You feel guilty taking it, but really for the last 8 hours you’ve been dropping hints about how wonderful it looks, and how amazing the kitchen smells, and no I couldn’t, well I guess I’ll take a bottle and scarf it down tonight in the hotel room, thus ruining dinner. Ruined is a strong word, I just ate a dozen shortbread cookies dipped in chocolate for dinner is a statement of pride.
That’s the show… and it’s fabulous.
