#FoodTVChat keeps getting better and better every week and as you will see in out recap #FoodTVChat with Rue Rusike, this week was a blast!
Michelle Karam, Rue’s pal from Food Network Star was in Paris cooking up a tarte quiche with spinach and lardons and joined us for #FoodTVChat.
Michelle was awake at 1AM in Paris and wondered what Rue’s favorite midnight snack was. The answer? Chicken wings and Jello!
