Got a note from the Zangers- the folks who shot one of the open fields
for the Food TV. Thought the list might be interested in it :-)
Hello friends! For two weeks back in April 2003 in Scottsdale and
Tucson, Stuart and I had a great time taping (and TASTING) the elements
of a Food Network
special, "Hot & Spicy Fiesta with Bon Appetit". We are writing to let
you know its airdates, coming up this weekend and next. It's a "vcr
alert" : pop a 60 minute tape
into the machine to catch your own copy, although there are four chances
to watch it or tape it, as always.
Show hosts and chefs Bobby Flay and Michael Symon are in Scottsdale to
play golf in a celebrity chef invitational sponsored annually by Bon
Appetit--but we make
sure they get off the links to sample the region's best foods! The two
chefs explore the varied roots of what's called "Southwestern
cuisine." That includes Mexican of
course--homestyle, street, and haute, cowboy steaks, salsas of every
kind, Native American foods, and "contemporary Southwest." That one uses
traditional
Southwestern ingredients, but applies classic French technique and lots
of creativity.
There's everything from a stadium-size amateur salsa-making contest to
"Sonoran hotdogs" with everything, sold from a truck in South Tucson.
We introduce some of
the great Southwestern chefs too, including Donna Nordin, Janos Wilder,
Vincent Guerithault, and many more. Some of the show's best moments
happen in the "mom
& pops" kitchens (including the Goldwaters'), where family cooks whip up
surprises for Bobby and Michael, probably involving chiles... Poor
Michael, whose taste buds
hail from Cleveland, Ohio! Still, we bet some of those flavors landed
on his menu at Lolabistro! (We KNOW Bobby's menu is loaded with
Southwest.)
Here are the play dates and times. All times are Eastern, and of
course, the channel is Food Network:
Sunday, April 18 at 10 p.m.
Monday, April 19 at 2 a.m.
Saturday, April 24 at 5 p.m.
Sunday, April 25 at 4 p.m.
We hope you can tune in and catch one of these times! Check TVFN's
website for info, recipes, and contacts if you like, and maybe drop them
a note if you like the
show? We LOVE making Food shows!
Karen and Stuart Zanger
