At the table with… Canada

For all of my Canadian Readers or anyone with dish you can check out my “At the table with”, I was blown away when they asked me to be a part of this. The caliber of the chefs they have worked with is amazing and I am honored to be among them. The Canadian food network team”Anthony and christoph” spent 8 days with me in SF and NYC filming and interviewing friends, colleagues, and family members. This is basically my life condensed into a 1/2 hour. They collected all my photos from my childhood until present I cant wait to see how this show turns out. I haven’t even seen it and its my life. Check your local listing and watch please let me know what you think.
