Los Angeles, CA, November 24, 2009 –

Jeffrey Saad and Guy Fieri first met when Guy was a judge on one of the episodes of Season Five’s “The Next Food Network Star” in which Jeffrey was competing. Jeffrey was inspired by Guy, and the two kept in touch after the show ended. Shortly after their first meeting, Guy invited Jeffrey to take the stage with him at one of his food show events in Anaheim, California.
“We had a blast,” says Jeffrey. So, when Guy presented him with the opportunity to do the opening cooking demonstration for the Los Angeles stop of the Guy Fieri Road Show, there was no hesitation on Jeffrey’s part. It was a no-brainer.
Billed as “food meets rock,” the concept is the first of its kind to make the concert hall scene. The event will include cooking demonstrations and music selected personally by Guy Fieri. “Guy is reinventing food entertainment,” says Jeffrey. “It’s exciting just to be asked to be a part of it.”
Fieri shot to fame after winning Season two of "The Next Food Network Star.” He’s the host of two Food Network shows, “Guy’s Big Bite,” a conventional cooking show, and "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives," on which he tours the country looking for great food finds. That show has also spun off two books, including one that recently hit bookshelves. With the Guy Fieri Road Show, Guy will be able to connect with thousands of fans live in a concert format across the country.
The Los Angeles food concert will begin with Jeffrey at the helm doing a cooking demonstration. Jeffrey will be making his delicious Shrimp Sliders with "kim chee" style slaw. According to Jeffrey, “This is a dish that anyone can make and get a taste of the world via the use of spices.”
In addition to being known as the runner up on the most recent season of “The Next Food Network Star,” Jeffrey is also the National Spokesperson for the American Egg Board, a recipe consultant, and motivational speaker. He currently hosts a series of webisodes called the “Spice Smuggler” on foodnetwork.com. Building on that “cooking without borders” style, each month Jeffrey takes spices off the rack and brings them to life in his kitchen and on his blog, which can be found at www.jeffreysaad.com.
