I am not sure that I am allowed to tell you this but anyone who shops at the Fair Lakes Whole Foods store already knows that Emeril Lagasse is filming his new TV show for Discovery channel - the Discovery Home channel will become a "green" channel with an announcement in early June. Emeril's new show will focus on buying local and will actually be filmed at the Whole Foods store - AND IN OUR MARKET! They did their first taping last week - Emeril came out to the market (which we had to rearrange for the cameras) and spoke with our honey vendors; then he toured the market and met each of the vendors, spending time getting to know them and taping all the while. In the picture above he is talking with Lois Allensworth of Lois's Produce.
We have no idea what will end up on the shows but he will be in the market throughout the season - through September they tell us - though not every week. He returns the first week in June and will be around for two weeks - I will keep you posted on his schedule.
And as soon as we know when the show will be aired we will let you know that too!
