The 99 Cent Chef: The 99 Cent Chef is on the Cooking Channel !

Don't miss The 99 Cent Chef's nationwide television appearance on cable! The show is called Food(ography) on the Cooking Channel, and the host is Mo Rocca.

I have 2 videos below: the first is my Cooking Channel appearance, followed by fun behind-the-scenes footage.

The episode is called Cheap East & Drinks and features a step-by-step video recipe of my Portabella Crab Rockerfeller (click here), plus an interview.

To quote Food(ography)'s website write-up: "Great food doesn't have to be overly expensive, and to foodographists there's nothing tastier than a bargain - so count your pocket change because we're on a hunt for the best deals around. From the Brooklyn flea market for great food and finds to the 99 Cent Chef for a cheap and delicious make-at-home meal. Plus, we'll transform fast food into a fancy feast with a few tricks, grab some grub at L.A.'s oldest dive bar, and meet Emily Farris, the Casserole Queen. Don't worry about the bill! Food(ography) is picking up the tab."

It was a quick and fun shoot that was done a couple of months ago. The director, Peter Fowkes, has an excellent sense of humor and played along with some of my hijinks, as you can see in this 2 1/2 minute teaser.

It's a lighthearted behind-the-scenes video to whet your appetite for the real thing -- and no, canned Spam is not an ingredient in my Cooking Channel recipe!
