Go(ld) Figure!

Figure skating champion and Olympic gold medalist Brian Boitano talks about training diets, first-time sushi experiences, orecchiette love, and loathing casseroles on Episode 21 of Something About Food?


If you're old enough to remember the 1988 Winter Olympic games, then you're old enough to remember "The Battle of the Brians", when Brian Boitano beat Brian Orser for Olympic gold. I clearly remember Boitano's blue military style outfit and his sweet, sweet mullet. (Oh yes Brian, that was a mullet, and you wore it well!)



Brian Boitano gives a winning performance in the kitchen as well as on the ice. The star of Food Network and Cooking Channel’s What Would Brian Boitano Make has published a cookbook of the same name. His list of accomplishments includes winning a Primetime Emmy award and producing more than 30 TV specials. You can find him on Twitter and Facebook.

Did you know that Mr. Boitano was featured in a song in the movie "South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut"? Because that is what happens when you're a champion!



Orecchiette in a simple tomato sauce in Bari Italy, as Brian and I discussed.


And for the record, my mullet shade isn't from some poser - I rocked one in 1984.
