So this morning I headed to the Elegant Farmer for a Food Network taping of what we were told would be called “Holiday Harvest” – highlighting “America’s Best Apple Pie” – the Apple Pie baked in a paper bag that Elegant Farmer is famous for.
I arrived, signed my release-waiver and was ushered indoors for the first segment filming – we were asked to taste the pie, walk around the store acting “normal”, and be willing to give on-screen comments about how we liked the pie. I didn’t get interviewed for this part, but there’s a chance I’m on film acting “normal”.
After a short while we were lead by hay-wagon to the top of the Elegant Farmer orchard where a tent was set up with somewhat of a staging-area-set built for the purpose of watching Farmer Dan and Farmer John make their world-famous Apple Pie. We were privy to the production of such a segment and while they were taping the making of the pie we were all suddenly caught off-guard by THE Bobby Flay walking onto the set disturbing the two Farmers as they described the process. Who knew we would be a part of a Throwdown with Bobby Flay episode?!
I was absolutely floored that Bobby Flay was right there in front of us here in Mukwonago, Wisconsin – talking to my buddy Farmer Dan about his famous pie!
Of COURSE I took pictures.
Some of my favorites:

Whoa!!! Bobby Flay! WE tape his Throwdown Show every week. How awesome that you met him. I just know Jess was extremely disappointed that she wasn’t there to see Bobby in person. Farmer Dan must make some awesome apple pie! Did you take notes so you can make us this pie when we visit this week??

I just wanted to be the first to reply that has no idea who Bobby Flay is. My wife does know.
Yes, I pretty much live under a rock other than work and home. Not much TV in my life.
Does anyone have a link to the show that I can view on the web?
