The Chew

During our last trip to NYC we scored tickets to one of our favorites shows....The Chew!  My husband and I have our DVR set to record this show daily and we usually watch in the evening after dinner but sometimes we catch them up on the weekends.  But we both enjoy the show too!  So it was very exciting when I got an email saying mom and I were selected for tickets!

We found our way to the studio in the morning where we had a brief wait outside before we were let in to the studio.  There was a nice audience holding area where we had some treats, "chew"y granola bars ;), before entering the studio.  It was so exciting to see the set and to get ready for the show.  They had a wonderful comedian that came out and got us pumped up for the show!

Before the taping began it was fun to see the crew getting everything lined up and we even saw Michael Symon come out and do some prep work.  The show was even more fun in person than it is on tv and that's saying something!  During the commercial breaks they would crank up the music and Carla Hall came out dancing into the audience.  She is so much fun!  

They did a segment on Cirque du Soleils Zarkana that was in it's closing week at Radio City Music Hall.  AND the best part was an audience giveaway of tickets to see the show!!!!!!  We did a tour of Radio City our previous trip and they were setting up for a NEW show called Zarkana and here we were ticket holders to this same show in its final week.  We were so excited!  

After the taping Clinton Kelly came out and chatted with the audience for a few minutes before jetting off to tape What Not To Wear!  Love that show..... I adore Clinton!!!!!  And as we stepped out of the studio we bumped into Daphne Oz who was as sweet as could be and took photos with us!  

It was great fun!!!!!  And then we headed to Radio City to get our tickets to Zarkana!  Such a great time!
