LoveHappensHere on the Food Network - NEXT THURSDAY NIGHT!

For those of you that know me you might be laughing out loud at the fact that I would appear on the Food Network.  Believe me in the interview for the role I left out my lack of cooking abilities! I mean I recently realized that my oven doesn't turn on and have made zero attempts to fix! But when it comes to love and introductions we are back in my court or a more suiting analogy for the occasion - my soufflé comes out perfect every time.

Next week on the season premier of the Food Network's newest show Family Style, LoveHappensHere will host a speed dating event to try to help Jimmy find love and well...Joey wants to help his sister find love as well!  Joey serves up aphrodisiac appetizers and Melissa concocts a special sexy cocktail while we facilitate a night of introductions.

It's a night of fun not to be missed!!!
happily,
kim

Details of "Big Date" - 10:30pm ET/PT (OR 7:30pm PST if you have Food Network HD)
Business is slow at Tommy V's so Melissa and Joey Maggiore set up a speed-dating event to attract a young, hip clientele. Joey hopes the event will help his shy cousin Jimmy get lucky with the ladies. And, always the prankster, he secretly signs Melissa up for the event as well.

Mr or Miss Manners...

Being from Virginia I feel it my southernly duty to ensure that my clients, friends and yes, I am on my best behavior.  Offering guests something to drink when they visit. Saying please and thank you. Chewing with my mouth shut. Politely eating my food.  Now I am the first to admit after a long run or two many hours without food I might be guilty of shoveling my food in like it's the last supper.  However, this behavior is NEVER acceptable on a date.
A few nights ago my girlfriend, Denise, and I were having dinner at one of our favorite East Village spots, Cafe Chloe, when we noticed a couple sitting next to us.  Of course, I was nosey wondering if this was a first date and how it would go! I noticed that the gentleman ordered an appetizer for himself and then I noticed that he was shoving giant pieces of bread in his mouth with reckless abandon. Talking with his mouthful and never once offered her a bite.  She demurely sipped her wine and chatted away.  Could this really be happening? Denise and I were floored, appalled, even! I looked away because we were bordering on being rude ourselves.
Two days later Denise & I were in our elevator and the culprit got it - with take out. My thoughts exactly...you should eat at home :)

happily,
