Your 15 minutes of foodie fame

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.

Here's a recipe for something called a Power Pooch Smoothie, which is a dessert for dogs, but it sounds OK for us humans too.

Al Roker's Big Bad Book of Barbecue, Cookbook of the Day

Al Roker seems like a friendly, easy-going guy and that sense carries into his book, Al Roker's Big Bad Book of Barbecue. A lot of Al's writing focuses on family (and fatherhood) and this book continues that trend. Though not explicitly a "family" book, it is definitely family-friendly, with easy recipes that don't take a huge amount of time to prepare and relatively simply flavors. I flipped though the book this weekend at Whole Foods, where it was on display, and found myself smiling at some of Roker's funny (and occasionally silly) descriptions and anecdotes. He's not an "expert" on barbecuing, but he is an experienced home chef and enthusiastic one at that. It's refreshing to cook with someone who doesn't seem to take himself too seriously.

Recipes like Grilled Chicken Satay and Salmon with Asian Marinade looked appealing, as did some of the salad and dessert suggestions, like the Caesar Salad with Grilled Croutons and Berry Shortcake with Vanilla Whipped Cream. There are plenty of basic sauces and rubs to spice up your steak or chicken, too.
