Oh, man, I thought I had blocked out my Gatorade Gum cravings!

for some reason, i actually embrace my hangovers; it means that there's a ton to discuss with my girlfriends the next morning! we'll typically cruise over to a local burger joint and get their saturday special (huge greasy cheeseburger, thick-cut fries, and a large soda... i always opt for water instead of the soda). if they're not around, i'll brew some coffee, and then pick up a huge plate of pad thai, which is so big that i'll snack on it throughout the day.

cheers!!

does anyone else remember "Milkshake" candy bars. Tasted like a chocolate malt.Also a Japanese hard candy in a round red tin. We used to call it umeboshi candy.

I am new to all this blogging stuff, but I love food. So I thought I would check this page out. Big "RR" fan. Love her on the Food Network and also her daytime show. I watch her everyday, sucks she is in re-runs for the summer:( I just watched this youtube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0z_IPF9dTZk and not sure why there are so many people hating on it. It's not the best produced video, but it's not that bad either. I remember this guy from the season he was on "RR". And he was very enjoyable to watch. All it seems is that he wants to do what he loves and get paid for it. Why not... If your reading this post Chef Milt, I liked the video and i watched some of the other that you have posted on youtube. Keep it up and good luck.

Ribster... I would love to chat. Follow me on Twitter. Chef_MiltDrewer

WOW!! You seem very upset and angry. And you posted a lot of times. You must have nothing better to do. And whether you watch is of not concern to me. You are obviously not my audience anyhow. And the video, just so you know was done for a major talent agency firm which will remain nameless and they loved it!! You obviously don't know anything about a highlight reel or a promo video. Thats ok, most people dont. The hair stays. And people like it. So what if every now and then someone thinks I'm GF. Thats an honor. That dude is the king of marketing. You may need to find another hobby. Just sayin. You don't know the first thing about what your writing. And thats ok to. By the way, I never wrote "I just found this on the internet" that may have been someone else. I did however put the video in this blog and asked for opinions. I put it in a few blogs. Mostly good responses. Your actually the only negative one. And as they say, any press is good press.

And another thought -- the fact that the video had clips where people are commenting about your hair -- not good if you're trying to pump the cooking aspect. And the fact that the first two comments here were about the hair, and you get comments on the street that you look like Fieri should tell you something.

Whether it was a conscious effort to look like him or not, it's a losing situation for you. People who like Fieri will say that you're a poser and you're not as good as him. People who don't like Fieri will think that you're trying to be like him, and they won't see past that. It leaves you with no audience of your own.

Yes, you have to be recognizable, but you aren't succeeding as being recognized as yourself. You're being recognized as the guy who looks like someone else. Find a look that's your own. And it doesn't have to be about hair.

@blankplate, that's exactly what he did. lol

You're on the right track with an agent. It's all about marketing. If you want some additional resources I have some friends who are in Public Relations as independent consultants. Their focus is on getting people into the limelight.

I googled you and got immediate hits, that's a good thing with Search Engine Optimization.

I am going to send you a twitter follow request. So we can take the conversation off this board. I don't want to reveal my true identity on the board. Are you on LinkedIn?

No not harsh - objective observation. 2.29 minutes into the you tube video - there's a shift in your appearance. Spiky blond hair immediately brings out subconscience images of Guy. I have no doubt your cooking is different, matter of fact from what I hear, it's probably a whole lot better then GF.

Wish you well! Your success will be determined in how well and consistent you market yourself. And in my opinion you're off to a great start. Hang in there and keep pushing.

I watched. Congrats to the guy, but I can also live without the GF look a like.
Wish him well, but he needs to let his Susie Fogleman 'Food Personality' come out on it's own instead of emulating someone else.

And that is just my two cents.

I think it was Keebler used to make these fudge sandwich cookies in a box. They were like a coco flavor with a fudge creme center. the were just called fudge sandwich cookies. Haven't been able to find them since the early nineties. The were great.Also miss the cheez balls in a can.

OK, Marathon Bars were the bomb, especially frozen. Does anyone remember a chocolate bar called Chocolite. It was alll chocolate, but had a lot of air bubbles on the inside. How about actual Gatorade Gum? I do remember the bacon chips, they were small bacon shaped crisps. Does anybody remember Doritos Sour Cream and Onion?
