Bizarre Foods comes to Rabelais

There was a whirlwind that swept through the store yesterday. A modern day film crew is astoundingly compact and contained. And yet when they came in the energy in here changed noticeably. Andrew, who I actually went to college with (and who gave me an early glimpse into 'gourmet' food), has that ineffable presence of a person who lives much of his life in the public eye. He sweeps into the room with crew and the room expands. Now I have known this guy since we were finding our way as young adults, we have both observed each other making those silly mistakes you make when you are young. So I am not in awe of my friend Andrew. On the contrary I am proud of what he has made out of himself. So when he chose to film a segment on Maine for his show Bizarre Foods on the Travel Channel I was happy to help out with segments ideas (the Deathmatch crew has agreed to put together a Bizarre Deathmatch for the camera, to be shot tomorrow). And then when he brought his crew in to film in the store I was appreciative that he was going to give us this publicity, but more importantly, wondrous at how our lives have taken us to this intersection.
Not to get too philosophical, I mean we are talking Bizarre Foods here. We have a small clip of Rob (Evans-Hugo's) working with Glass Eels that we will post soon. And I am sure I will have some photographic evidence from Sunday's Deathmatch. Yes, we have been invited. Some courses being proposed include Sea Cucumber; June bugs; Sea Beans; Moose Heart; and a deconstructed reconstructed Italian.... It is a shame that it isn't Uni season but it will still be a rocking party! We have been told that the show should air sometime in August. We will be sure to post any news as soon as we hear it.
