foodtvandme.com is the unofficial food network fansite with news, reviews, and my attempts at those great recipes you see on tv.

I’m so jealous.  Tyler Florence, the sexiest chef on television today, just happened to be in San Diego demonstrating how spectacular his new line of cookware is at Macy’s (click here to browse his pretty, yet pricey cookware.  It’s actually on sale right now if you are shopping early for the holidays.  I could use a gravy boat if you’re feeling generous.)  He is also promoting his new cook book that was released in September, Tyler’s Ultimate. 

So, back to my jealousy.  My friend, Valerie, happens to reside in San Diego and happened to score some tickets to his cooking demo.  She managed to meet the man himself, and break my heart by reporting to me that he is engaged with a baby on the way.  Oh well.  He’s still pretty to look at.  She was also able to snap a picture and get her copy of his cook book signed. 

Here is the photo.  They both look so happy.  I’m even more jealous.
