WOW!!I still am a bit shocked that I was let into the conference call. I mean, it is NBC... the National Broadcasting Company, a pioneering giant in the television industry for goodness sakes. One news organization I've long dreamed about working for. And Chef Flay one of the first Food Network stars!
WOW!!
So there I am at the conference call thinking about how I just scored another pretty darned impressive event but wondering how it is that Alton still sees this site as lowly and unworthy of his time and interest? Even when I had a media pass he still didn't treat me as he would any other member of the press.
Makes me confused as to why all of these other people seem to be overly happy to comply with my requests but he still says no.
The one person I call my culinary idol, the person who has been my teacher for so many years, the person who has inspired me to make so many dishes and the person who, in a small way, inspired me to start being a reporter again, says flat out no every time I ask him for a small bit of his time. What makes him so special?
As grateful as I am to NBC for being included in the call, as thankful as I am to all of the people who HAVE agreed to an interview with me (including the one with Harold McGee), I would trade all of that in a heartbeat to be able to interview AB. It is the one thing that will always be important to me.
Unfortunately Mr. Brown does not care to see it that way.
Anyway, if you're interested in the article on America's Next Great Restaurant and Bobby Flay here is it!
