FLORIDA SWEET CORN TO BE FEATURED ON MR. FOOD IN APRIL
 
Popular TV chef Mr. Food spent the day in Belle Glade Jan 4. at R.C. Hatton Inc., growers of sweet corn and green beans, taping for two segments that will spotlight supersweet corn.
 
Mr. Food, whose real name is Art Ginsberg, and his crew toured the Hugh Branch Inc. value-added packinghouse, which produces tray-packed sweet corn in two- and four-packs that are microwavable.
 
The vignettes are set to air April 17 and 18. The chef, who has written more than 30 best-selling cookbooks, will offer preparation tips and recipes featuring the crisp, sweet ears. Ginsberg’s trademark “Ooh, it’s so good” is familiar to millions of fans in more than 150 television markets across the country who watch his syndicated 90-second food vignettes.
 
His Web site, which features recipes, products and nutrition information, is www.mrfood.com.
