Tom Colicchio recalled the ‘bad experience’ on ‘Live With Regis and Kathie Lee’ over 30 years ago that almost led him to quit TV
Tom Colicchio has been a mainstay of reality television since Top Chef premiered in 2006 — but the Emmy-winning chef almost quit TV completely after his first onscreen experience went awry.
“So it was Regis and Kathie Lee and I had just won Food & Wine magazine Best New Chef. This is 1991,” he recalled. “They called me and said, ‘Can you bring a dish? We’ll go through the steps.’ And so I brought this dish, it was braised red snapper, and then there was an eggplant caviar sandwiched between layers of fried eggplant a sauce with roasted red peppers, lemon, lemon zest olive oil.”
“I’m like, ‘I can’t believe this guy just threw me under the bus,’” Colicchio told Us. “So I get through the segment and it’s perfect. We nail it. We absolutely nail it. And so a producer comes over and says, ‘Oh, that was great!’ And I was like, ‘Why did throw me under the bus like that?’ He goes, ‘No, he missed rehearsal.’
Colicchio is expanding his reality cooking show chops with his new interactive cooking show, The Pantry. Hosted by Colicchio and featuring a star-studded lineup of celebrity chefs like Marcus Samuelsson and Kristen Kish, the Spirits Network series features a “buy bar” that allows viewers to purchase featured ingredients and tools with a simple click. While viewers watch the show, they can easily recreate the dishes themselves at home.
