The Varsity – Atlanta

The Secret to Amazing Real Onion Rings! I stopped by The Varsity in Atlanta while filming the latest season of Appetite for Life. This huge drive-in is an American classic. Watch this video to see why their onion rings are so darn good. That method is no joke. The Varsity Downtown 61 North Avenue Atlanta, GA 30308…  Read More

Thoughts on Intervention & Recovery TV

First there was Intervention…now Relapse. When will see a show about Recovery in all its glory? THAT would be the most noteworthy and revealing of the entire franchise if we ever get to see it. This is not a rallying cry for the recovering community, it’s a tribal shout for all of humankind to move past the…  Read More

Wellness in America

Bourdain, Deen, Bruni, Redzepi & Why it Matters Paula Deen and those that cook with commoditized unhealthy ingredients are to be faulted most not for telling us to eat canned, processed and commoditized ingredients– but because they never tell you not to!

10 Reasons to Stay In on Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is upon us. While some folks opt for the romantic dinner in a fancy restaurant, I enjoy spending the night in with my family, making dinner and watching a flick. I don’t know about you, but I usually find a good food movie to be sexier than your run-of-the-mill romantic comedy. If that’s…  Read More

5 Questions: Adam Richman

When I first heard of Man v. Food show, I was skeptical. So this guy goes around the country, attempting to conquer iconic food challenges (i.e. scarfing an entire 72-ounce steak at Amarillo’s Big Texan Steak Ranch), while we watch? But a few minutes into the show, I was hooked. Adam Richman’s wit, charm and seemingly endless…  Read More
