Your 15 minutes of foodie fame

by Ellen Slattery, Posted Apr 18th 2008 @ 5:30PM

Have a bizarre or touching food-related story to tell? Tell Uncle Al all about it.

Al Roker and the Food Network are compilling a collection of stories about how food changed people's lives (or...something) that they can fit into a yet-unnamed new show.

The press release that Phoodie posted listed the examples: going from homeless to being a restaurant-owner, only eating one food, or making art from food.

I could give them several ideas (see: man who makes bubble gum sculptures, girl who eats nothing but french fries...)

If you want to be casted, e-mail a brief description of your story with contact info and a photo of yourself to michaelraptis@alroker.com, or call (646) 732-9848 to be considered.
