Tyler Florence's Chef's Life

Iron Chef Hayden Florence?

Posted Sep 17th 2007 3:43PM by TYLER

Hi everybody!

I'm here on the set of 'Tyler's Ultimate' and wanted to let you all know how great it is going. We are shooting some really great stuff for you!

Tolan, Hayden and I are living the hotel life in NYC right now and I have to admit, it is a lot of fun. Our quarters are tight, but it has been really nice to have some quiet, alone time with the family. Hayden is growing and changing every single day and has taken quite a liking to both NYC and the life of a chef. He's been taking some time to make the rounds with some of my peers at the Food Network...check him out picking Cat Cora's brain on what it's like to be an Iron Chef. We love Cat!

It's great to be back in NYC for a while....Tolan and I both miss it a bit. It's fun to be back in hustle and bustle of the city, but it'll still be nice to get back home to California in a couple more weeks.

If you happen to be in the Atlanta area, I'd love to see you on Saturday, September 22 from 1-3pm at Belk at the North Point Mall in Alpharetta, GA. I will be doing a cooking demonstration, signing books and showing off my tabletop line with Mikasa. See you there!

And if you haven't already, please take a look at www.tylerflorence.com and be sure to sign up for my monthly newsletter!

2. Hi Tyler:

It's Maeda from your myspace page. I'm glad to see you are coming to Atlanta. I am going to try to make it to Alpharetta on Saturday after I do the Piedmont Green Market. Greenleaf Organic Farms is doing very well for our first year and my bakery is doing well also. I'm happy all is going well for you!

Take Care,
Maeda/Greenleaf Organic Farm

4. Hi Chef Tyler Florence,
I must say that you are truly and insperation to me. I have been in the culinary field for over 15 years now. Out of all the celebrity Chefs you are by far the best in my opinion. I hope to be able to visit Bar Florence in Manhatten some day.
