I always have a bottle of chipotle hot sauce in my locker at work for emergency
seasoning. I wonder- are you available in the same easy to carry packaging?

Heide

Dear Heidi,

Wow. You've left the flavor of hot sauce in my mouth with that question. I need some time to wipe the sweat off my forehead before I answer back. wow...GD

Ben writes:

George, in your book, you say that there should be a cooked-ness rating between rare
and raw; there is. It is called "blue rare" or "blood rare". It is where the meat
is seared quickly on the outside, but left barely warm and almost uncooked on the
inside. ;)

I took your survey about how I eat an oreo cookie and I'm disappointed
that you did not have an option for dunking! In my house, oreo's are not eaten
without a tall cold glass of milk. Just letting you know :)

You're right Melissa. What a dreadful mistake. I used to always love dunking oreos in my milk. So in honor of you I have changed the question in the Survey section of my website...enjoy! GD

Lester asks:

I was wondering if you are going to have a book signing in CA because you know i'm buying the book and i want it all autographed and stuff.

Dear Lester,

You bet I will be in sunny California for a book signing! I'm not sure when or where, but the best thing to do is to keep an eye on the ITINERARY section of my website as it gets closer to Fall. In the meantime, please begin marinating some steaks for me...I'm on my way!

I am the chick who asked you to marry me 2 years ago lol and I am still a fan! I
miss hots so much. keep us updated and hope all is well! :) P.S. If you had the
choice of being reincarnated as a smurf or a transformer, which would you pick?

Dear Jessica,

Does this mean that you don't want to marry me anymore because there are no more episodes of HOTS? ;-)

As to your question, I would totally be a transformer because then I could ask Smurfette out on a date and she would have to say "yes!". Transformers get all the pretty girls...even the blue ones.

Jenni asks:

Where are you George? What are you working on ? Any more HOTS on the horizon?

Hi Jenni,

Well, unfortunately Ham on the Street has been canceled for quite some time, but I have been hosting The Secret Life Of... on the Food Network, Thursday nights at 8:30PM EST.

Also, I have some amazing surprises for the near future, including my cookbook which will be out this Fall. But most importantly, television will have never experienced food the way I will bring it to them...be patient!

George, I certainly enjoyed Ham on the Street! I lost your Mom's Fresh Mozzarella recipe that you had made on one segment. Can you either send it to me or send me a link to it? I remember it was quite simple, and my son and I want to make it. Will this recipe appear in your cookbook?

Hi Cynthia,

You can find most of my famous "Ham on the Street" recipes on the food network site at www.foodtv.com or simply go to www.hamonthestreet.com. Eventually I will be building a large database of recipes on my website. Unfortunately that recipe did not make it in my cookbook...but you'll be happy to learn that there are many newer recipes that you will enjoy once the book comes out in the Fall!

I know that you are a busy guy,but I was just wondering do you have autographed pictures? I thought maybe you had them that you sell or something. Just wondering. Well, I have to go get ready towatch The Secret Life Of. Thanks for the great shows.

Dear Greg,

Holy crap! I never thought about selling my headshots! I mean, how much do you think I can get for one? Why don't I do this...I'll send you an autographed headshot, and you can post it on ebay for me. Whatever you sell it for, I will give 10X the amount to your favorite charity group. What do you think? I've got 5$ to spare! ;-)

January 8th, 2008 | The cookbook is on it's way!

If some of the recipes I made on HOTS sounded interesting to you, wait until you check out my new cookbook this fall! I'll be posting some behind the scenes videos of the making of the book as well as some embarrassing pictures...stay tuned!

January 7th, 2008 | Genesis of a website...
Hi friends...
