‘Booze’ and Mike Rowe. Need We Say More?

September 18, 2012 | by aharris

How Booze Built America with Mike RoweMike Rowe has completed 300 dirty jobs for Dirty Jobs. It’s about time someone got the man a drink (aside from the Captains of Deadliest Catch). One of Discovery Channel‘s most well-known personalities and voices is hosting a new three-part series, How Booze Built America, beginning tomorrow night at 10pm ET/PT. The special will look at America’s history with liquor — from Johnny Appleseed’s tie to hard cider to the role booze played in the O.K. Corral.

So grab a beer, cocktail or mocktail and join Mike Rowe for How Booze Built America Wednesday nights through October 3! Until then, check out the Drinker’s Dictionary below with our very own Prince Eugene. (I promise the video will help that make sense.)

America’s Best Bacon, Burgers and Steak Discovered in Destination America’s ‘United States of Food’

July 6, 2012 | by aharris

Destination AmericaThe Fourth of July has already come and gone, but just because our national holiday passed doesn’t mean we have to forget about one of the most uniting forces in America — food. And chef and restauranteur Todd Fisher searches the country high and low for the best bacon, burgers and steaks in Destination America‘s new series United States of Food.

Chef Todd takes his food seriously, and visits eateries with the best and most inventive dishes in the country. He makes stops at smaller businesses, like the Bacon Bacon Truck in San Francisco that serves scrumptious bacon grilled cheeses, and also at larger businesses, like Crif Dogs in New York City (where he spots the record-holding hot dog competitive eater Takeru Kobayashi among the crowd).

The first installment, United States of Bacon, airs this Sunday, July 8 at 10pm ET/PT, and you can tune in (and let your mouth water) the following two Sundays as Chef Todd explores burgers and steaks. Get ready to feast with your eyes!

OWN Asks Americans, ‘Are You Normal?’

June 4, 2012 | by aharris

Are You Normal, America?I’ve always thought “normal” to be a relative term when it comes to people. We all have our quirks and what’s common to someone seems outlandish to another. But OWN is tackling just that topic with Are You Normal, America?, a new series hosted by Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? producer Barry Poznick and actress Kim Coles that premieres tonight at 9pm ET/PT on OWN.

The game show asks questions like “Is it normal to have ever talked on the phone while using the toilet?” (by the way, 92% of people in Arkansas admit to this) and has two contestants vying for more than $100,000 in prizes, as audiences learn more about our country and what fellow Americans do or don’t do (whether they fess up to it individually or not). You can check out the poll results on the OWN website and, if you have a question, make sure to submit it online…it could appear in a future episode!

Are You Normal, America? 90-Second Recap: Skinny-Dipping, Toe Sucking and More

In this round of Are You Normal, America?, financial planner Scot and building manager Charlë team up for a chance to win $100,000! But first they have to determine whether it’s normal to go skinny-dipping, talk on the phone while using the restroom, and suck on your partner’s toes. Find out how they did in this 90-second recap.
