"CHEW ON THIS!"
|
Chew On This! is full of Philly
food facts and fun fur hats, plus a visit from one of America’s greatest
thinkers (and eaters) Benjamin Franklin. Part game show, part food show
and all parts fun, this episode is a feast of eye candy and an earful of
information. BiG TeA PaRtY creates their own quiz show by playing
the games Dicey Dinner and Tic Tac Tofu in which host Elizabeth Fiend
tests contestants’ knowledge of nutrition and food. Yes, there’s jumping
up & down, there are hugs and an audience screaming out encouragement. But
there are also velvet-lined pizza boxes, fuzzy dice thrown from a KFC
bucket and a game board of cartoon food held by men with green hair. This
show is bound to amuse as well as inform you about the value of a
vegetarian diet, what color foods have the most antioxidants and much,
much more. Even special guest Ben Franklin learns a thing or two from
Elizabeth while he charms her into making him a sandwich – a sandwich on a
soft pretzel!
