Martie Party on Location in Chicago with Triple D and Guy Fieri!

You know I am not the type to name drop (LOL) but when something fantastic happens that other foodie and party people would want to know about, you have to tell it. Lots of you, like me, are big fans of Food Network star chef Guy Fieri and his show Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. Guy and the DDD crew hit Chicago for a taping of the hit show last week and I got to tag along. (Thanks Guy and Kleetus!) Guy is such a pro, he makes the whole thing look really easy, but it was easy to see that it's all really hard work. I got to meet another member of Guy's Krew, Mustard, who was very sweet and super cool. Mustard was kinda the theme of the day as Guy (big prankster) chased a few people around the kitchen with a squirt bottle of mustard. Guy has new episodes of Triple D and Guy's Big Bite airing now so if you don't already watch, check out the coolest chef on the Food Network. And to make a fun day even more fun, I got to go to Wrigley for a Cubs game while I was in town and the rain actually stopped just in time! 

Hope everyone had an awesome Cinco de Mayo. Party on! 

More Guy, Tyler and Party People from the ATL Show!

I told you we had a blast in Atlanta at the Metropolitan Cooking & Entertaining Show and we really did. We met the nicest people and so many have already emailed us to say hey and to let us know they loved what we did--- so encouraging! Thank you! I've loaded up most of the images (the ones that were not too blurry) into a photo gallery from the event so check it out to see if your picture made the site! We've got a busy May coming up with photo shoots for our first book. Can't wait to share some of that with all of you. Here are a few more party pics from the show! Guy Fieri rocks the house during his live show Tyler Florence stops by our backstage prep kitchen

Celebrity Chef Sightings! Martie Meets Guy Fieri and his posse in Atlanta

Martie Duncan and Guy Fieri: The party's on!OK- I am going to do a thorough wrap up of our weekend at the Metropolitan Cooking and Entertaining Show in Atlanta later tonight. We had a ball talking about parties and fun. Thanks to everyone for hanging out with us! We had SRO crowds at every show and met so many nice people!! Awesome!

Some of the nicest people we met were celebrity chef Guy Fieri from The Food Network and his posse.  Kleetus, Brunch (don't ask-- his name is Brunch!) along with Michael and Scott from Ergo Chef(the company that makes Guy's knives) were so great and a real blast! I have to tell you Guy is one of the most real celebs I have ever met-- very cool and completely nice. And his live show really was OFF THE HOOK! Loud and high energy like a rock concert-- completely fitting because Guy really rocks the house! Guy-- you are awesome! Check out Guy's site, sign up for his email and buy Guy gear there. Looking forward to cooking some of his recipes for our party crowd. We all bought his book!Guy and his posse: Michael and Scott from Ergo Chef, Kleetus, Brunch and Guy Fieri

Stay tuned for more fun, pics and new from the show. We had a blast!
