  • No, Mr. Food, it's not so good.....

    Heard today on the local news that a regular syndicated feature, Mr. Food has lost it's guiding light and host.  Art Ginsburg has passed away at age 81.

    Mr. Food was a gourmet for the rest of us.  His recipes were not so much fancy, schmancy as they were a dressing up of regular everyday food.  And he did it with things you most likely had in your own cupboard.    His folksy way and his signature line, "oooooohhhh, it's soooooo good!" was broadcast into thousands of homes and his website of regular guy recipes was the staple of many a hassled cook.

    I've tried several of his recipes and found them to be good and fairly inexpensive.  Just what a cash strapped family who enjoyed good tasting food needed and now it is gone.

    RIP Art.  You helped us feed our families and your gentle humour made us smile.
