Food + movies = our kind of fun

We don’t really watch TV, but we do watch quite a few movies. Our favorites tend to include our main passion… food. Mark and I both got a nasty case of pinkeye yesterday, so we won’t be out the house for a day or two. We’ll be watching a selection  of our favorites, in no particular order. Fire up your netflix cue and pop some popcorn.

  • 9 1/2 Weeks. We prefer to forward through the rough, nutso sex and just get the food porn on. This one isn’t for everyone:)
  • Like Water For Chocolate. The only movie I’ve ever seen that was worlds better then the book. Spanish subtitles.
  • The Big Night . Anyone who is crazy enought to own a restaurant will tell you about the trials and tribulations. Here, you can also really see their passion for food!
  • The Last Holiday. I have a secret Queen Latifah crush. Here, see how she chooses to spend her last days… with her favorite chef!
  • Bottle Shock. Fun movie about wine, trusting talent and passion.
  • Chocolat France, food, love.
  • Ratatouille. Who doesn’t love a food cartoon with a rat chef?
  • Julie and Julia You can’t put Meryl Streep in a food movie about Julia Child and not make it a hit!
  • Mostly Martha “No Reservations” in German, much better and much more believable…
  • Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. The classic. (Sorry Johnny Depp.) This is the ultimate movie about living your food.

around the world in 80 plates!!!

I’m thrilled to announce my participation in Bravo’s newest culinary-adventure based reality competition show. You like cooking and world travel like I do? Then this is the show for you!!

The show, scheduled to air on May 9, is hosted by Cat Cora and Curtis Stone, and pits twelve chefs against one another in a forty-day race that journeys across ten countries, including China, Argentina, England, Italy, France, Morocco, Spain, Thailand, the United States and Uruguay. Big-name celeb chefs, including José Andrés, Wolfgang Puck and Nigella Lawson, make plenty of cameos as the show’s “food ambassadors.”

AND I’M ONE OF THEM!!! This is going to be an amazing show, so please make your plans for a Wednesday night viewing party with your friends to watch myself and 11 other fabulous chefs race around the world and cook our asses off in some pretty crazy places.

In the meantime, here’s a preview: www.bravotv.com/around-the-world-in-80-plates/season-1/videos/a-new-culinary-adventure
