Troy has been pretty funny the last month or so on Twiiter, posting updates on the daily shooting schedule, location, food consumed, and deterioration of his digestive system: "Food Network shoot, Day 27: Deep-fried burger day. Every time you eat one of these things, a flax seed dies."
Should be a fun series.

Hey guys. I had to resign up for Chow to say thanks. (The moderators and I got all pissy with each other a long time ago so I took my ball and went home).
Sincere thanks. Hopefully I don't come off like a Grade A Tool, and that we teach people some stuff, make a food bucket list, and a chuckle or two.
Flying to New York on Monday for the most important shoots of our trip. Kind of stand-up monologues similar to my demo tape. Not sure if you've seen that or not. But this is the tape that got me the gig. And if I do my job right, it'll be the same attitude/style of the show.

Thanks again.

Love the tape - can't wait for the show. Will you have to watch your mouth or will they "bleep" you?

Thanks, delong. Yeah, I'm definitely going to have to be a little less colorful with the language. Luckily, I've learned a few non-bleepable words along the way.

Caught the pizza show last night, you did kill it. Love your angle and share it as well. And the fact that you got into it with the mods makes you plain grade A in my book. If you ever need some LA tips, knock on my cyber door.

After watching the pizza subject on Crave I have come to the conclusion that you need to work on your show. Really work on it. What you're doing and how you present it has been done before by the likes of Adam Richman, Anthony Bourdain, Guy Fieri, etc. Please believe me when I say I'm not being mean spirited. But your type of show is a dime a dozen. Except for the information on how gluten affects pizza dough, there was really nothing useful from the show. I will watch a few more episodes and hope you're only going through a teething process and eventually nail down a rhythm.

Hey. I respect that. Hopefully it'll continue to get better and give you some more stuff that's useful. Thanks for the feedback.

I'm liking the food science aspect of the show - a little Alton Brown-esque at times without the schtick. I'm looking forward to future episodes.
PS - I was so afraid one of those chicken cutters was going to buzz his fingers right off. I wonder how they train for that job?

You kept the attention of my 2 year old. Much kudos to you. I love listening to you talk, you're like the Dennis Miller of the food network.
