My appearance on WGN & upcoming projects

Last Friday was a very exciting day for me, as it was my first live cooking demo on TV. I was on WGN Midday news promoting some of my summer grilling recipes The segment was 4:30 minutes, so I had to make sure to fit in all three recipes. As soon as we went live, my nerves subsided and I was really having a good time with the host, Dina Bair. I definitely began to talk a little fast when I saw the producer doing the "wrap it" signal during my third recipe, but was very happy with how it turned out.

In September, I will be hosting an all day cooking demo with local chefs at the East Lakeview Artfest. I will also be covering the Chicago Gourmet hamburger hop presented by Allen Brothers & Bon Appetit.

Lots of great events coming up and new episodes of Flavor City in the works!

Brand New Episode & my TV appearance

Hot from the editing room, is a brand spankin' new episode of FlavCity! I kick off grilling season with some mouth watering prime steaks from Allen Brothers. From wet & dry aging, to learning more about prime meat, I grill up some seriously good eats, and take a road trip to interview the president of Allen Brothers. Alongside the cornucopia of meat, is a grilled sweet potato and corn salad, almost every ingredient is grilled. Hey, it is national grilling month after all!

T-Minus 2 days until I make my TV debut on WGN Midday news at 11:45am. Tune in this Friday, July 19th. Lots of grilling, grub, and good times.
