About a month ago several of us at Shapiro's had the pleasure to meet Ted Allen, noted author and television personality. He now is host of two prime-time series on Food Network:
Chopped, a culinary competition in which four chefs per episode attempt to cook their way through three courses to win a $10,000 prize, and
Food Detectives, which uses scientific experiments to test myths about food. He is a frequent guest on television cooking shows and the author of magazine articles and books. All I can say is that he was so gracious to myself (on the right), Brandy Ison (far left) and Ronda Gude(second on left). Ted grew up in Carmel, Indiana and attended Purdue University. In town to do a photo shoot for Hamilton County, he definitely showed us some Hoosier hospitality! We were fortunate to have our keylime pies in the photo with him.

Another "foodie" I was fortunate to meet was Marc Summers, who was also raised in Indiana. Marc is an
American television personality,
comedian,
game show host,
producer, and a two-time
talk show host. He is best known for hosting the
Nickelodeon game show Double Dare and currently hosts
Unwrapped on
The Food Network. He was in our downtown Indianapolis deli last week and was nice enough to let us get a photo. Marc enjoys our peppered beef! You never know who you might run into at Shapiro's Deli! Thank you Marc Summers for your Hoosier hospitality!
