Brian Boitano Is a Foodie?

by Sara Bonisteel, Posted Apr 21st 2009 @ 4:00PM

At the intersection of "South Park," the Food Network and professional figure skating there comes this news flash: Brian Boitano is apparently a foodie.

The gold-medal-winning Olympian who spent a career on the ice has decided to heat things up with a Food Network show. Beginning in August, "What Would Brian Boitano Make?" will follow the skater reality-TV style as he whips up "amazing food for a new event in each episode," according to the network.

We are as surprised at this development as we were when we learned of the culinary prowess of the late Danny Kaye (thanks Ruth!). Boitano's sport is known for a jump called the Salchow. Will he dare to go to triple sow-cow territory? Will he cook skate? We'll have to wait and see.
