Chef Jim Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 Never heard of him but my toque blanc is off to who sounds like a fantastic guy. RIP Chef.
apuszczalowski Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 I grew up watching his spot on WKBW news at noon when I came home for lunch from school, and also during the later news casts around dinner. My parents always watched him He always seemed like a great, down to earth kind of guy and someone who would have been great to hang around with, very grandfatherly Never heard of him but my toque blanc is off to who sounds like a fantastic guy. RIP Chef. I always picture him as you when I see your posts......
Don't stop billievein Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 Just passed away from pancreatic cancer. I remember watching his spot with my grandparents when i was a little kid.

San Jose Bills Fan Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 And the day before Thanksgiving. I'm sure he had some special episodes for that occasion. RIP, Mr. Food
BearNorth Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 My brother in law was his tax accountant, said he was a great human being, gave Rachael Ray her start on TV. RIP
Wacka Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 He also was on the Channel 7 Telethon many times.
apuszczalowski Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 He also was on the Channel 7 Telethon many times. I believe they said last night he was still doing it up to last years telethon
HopsGuy Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 Sorry to hear of his passing. He was a great example of "Figure out what you love - turn that into a business." He had all the chef skills but knew how to inspire regular folks to cook in 90 seconds. Rachel Ray (not a chef but someone Mr. Food had on his segments) took that concept and turned it into an empire (with help) but Art was happy doing his thing. I really admire that.

Rachel Ray (not a chef but someone Mr. Food had on his segments) took that concept and turned it into an empire (with help) but Art was happy doing his thing. I really admire that. He actually said in interviews that he didn't want to do the "Food network thing" and have a full show and be a celebrity all over the country. He was happier doing his shorter syndicated segments and not having to travel around with bodyguards because he was a celebrity. One of the things many liked about what he did was he wasn't about having to use specialty ingredients, his food would use processed and pre-prepared parts (like pre made pie crusts for pies and canned soups, etc.), something the average person/family would have to create dinner that night
