There was a short video presentation giving the highlights for all of his shows on Food Network followed by a Q&A session with Bob Tuschman that ran about 30 minutes or so. I would say there was a good 600-700 people there and they ate up everything Guy said. At one point, a little girl came up to an open mic to ask a cooking question and Guy went out into the audience to shake her hand and talk to her. He can really work a room.<br /><br /><br />I don't think there was anything new revealed; they will soon be shooting season two of that kids version of "Rachael vs. Guy," and just shot 26 episodes of "Guy's Grocery Games." Tuschman said after the first batch of episodes, they ended up building a working supermarket inside a warehouse near where Guy lives to shoot the series. He was in Los Angeles shooting "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" and told some anecdotes about places they chose to film around the city. He joked that people often come up to tell him they didn't like something on the menu at one of the restaurants in the show and he has to explain that he doesn't vet the entire menu.<br /><br /><br />He was complimentary but didn't talk a lot about other network people, only to say that Rachael Ray is one of his best friends and that Sandra Lee helped him out a lot after he won "Food Network Star," which he said was the hardest eight weeks of his career. Tuschman recalled Fieri's audition tape was one of the last ones they reviewed that season.<br /><br /><br />Afterwards, people descended like locusts on the free food, about eight tables with better-than-usual finger food, desserts and spiked milkshakes. Tuschman and Fieri worked the room there, too.Turtlenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808060991534955915.post-13334171673045919962014-03-26T11:51:52.917-04:002014-03-26T11:51:52.917-04:00They've otherwise ruined their credibilty, som...They've otherwise ruined their credibilty, somehow I don’t think this is going to restore it.Carrienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808060991534955915.post-62655522113824832752014-03-26T09:27:19.429-04:002014-03-26T09:27:19.429-04:00Hey!
