    Indirectly, you can probably write to him care of Channel 2. Or call
    them, they may have a more direct address.

Couldn't he be reached through his publisher, whom, I believe, is Morrow?

    On the subject of The Frugal Gourmet, is it just me, or are his shows
    starting to become infomercials for his books?  
    
    I seem to remember a time when he actually cooked 2-3 dishes on his
    show.
    
    When I tuned in  last weekend, it appears that he now shows a film of
    his last tax deductible trip to Italy, follows it up with a list of
    ingredients and a shot of the finished dish.  He also seems to pride
    himself on "showing" a dozen or so dishes in a fraction of his half
    hour show.   
    
    Compared to some of the other cooking shows on the air, which really
    get into COOKING, this show is definitely lacking (as is his most
    recent cookbook).
    
    Too bad...  it used to be fun to watch.

    It's not just you, all he seems to do is talk, very little cooking.

    I agree 100%. I won't watch him anymore. I'm tired of his "vacation
    slide shows". Maybe we should all write to his producer...

    	I never really liked him anyway. He and Craig would be a pair I
    	wouldn't enjoy spending time with in the kitchen, so I likewise
    	avoid his show. Flipping channels I did see one of his touring
    	shows which caught my attention, he was eating his way around
    	Italy. I actually enjoyed the program, and thought it was an
    	improvement over his old shows. Watching the other cooks on
    	camera was far better than listening to him drone on over a pot,
    	we got to see actual food preparation rather than listening to 
    	another "Craig and I did xyz" story.
