So first let's start with some good news: the show has been picked up by GPTV and we begin production ASAP. My producer/friend Huitt and I had a fantastic meeting in Atlanta yesterday and we have the official green light on the new series to be called Hans Cooks the South: Georgia. The first season will be dedicated solely to GA and the produce we do best like peanuts, peaches, onions, pecans, etc. I can't wait to get started. We're shooting it in HD to boot. It's been said I'm too skinny for wide-screen, so I guess I need to fatten up! So a big thank you to all of you who took the time to drop a note to GPTV about the pilot show. Thank you thank you!
Speaking of, I've actually lost a couple pounds since we've returned from TX. I had a MASSIVE reflux episode the other night that sent acid all the way up into my sinus cavity, into my larynx, and even my lung. It was truly one of the most awful things you can imagine. I'm going to hop in to my local Dr. tomorrow to make sure there's not any fluid still in my lungs. I'm at high risk for aspiration pneumonia, so better safe than sorry. I suppose I'm lucky that the reflux doesn't happen more often, but when it does, it's brutal.
So much to do. I'm teaching a class at the Piedmont Cancer Wellness center on Wednesday, so if you can attend, please do. I'm really trying to get my cookbook done this year too. Time to run!
Gesundheit!
Hans

Rep Power: 10 | Ouch! That must have been painful.
Fortunately, I've never had reflux or even heartburn....ever.

Rep Power: 10 | My husband has problems with that a lot, nothing that serious though. But he loves spicy food, I think that makes it worse. | |

Friday, February 29, 2008 Hans Cooks the South: Georgia
Production begins as soon as the new High Definition cameras arrive from Showcase Photo & Video in Atlanta. They were kind enough to let me use a new Canon Digital Rebel XT to use during our travels to document the farms, the people, the produce, and of course the food. So as soon as we hit the road, I'll start posting our adventures here.
Hans Cooks the South: Georgia is being produced by ETC in Ellijay for GPTV and will premiere in 2009. I'll keep you posted!
Much to do...
Gesundheit,
Hans

And so it begins. Huitt and I took the new Sony XD camera out for a test drive today to shoot the first of our production pieces. I hope to have a streaming clip of today's "adventure" up by the weekend or at least early next week. We went to R&A Orchards in in Ellijay today to get some shots of the apple and peach trees in early bud.
We've settled on a logo (above) for the show. I wanted to have something that was textural and organic and perhaps a bit rural.
We're getting leads from all over the state and I'm just hoping we can get them all in. If you open your eyes to it, this state is overflowing with good food and I can't wait to get out there and show it off...
Be well...eat well.
Hans

Rep Power: 10 | Georgia clams...  Huitt shooting Charlie and the clams from the airboat
There's a thriving clam industry happening in the marshy wetlands and tidal flats along the Georgia coast. You could drive up and down the coast and have no idea that literally tons of clams are being cultivated beneath the nutrient rich mud. And we're talking world-class clams here...tender and delicious. One of the folks that's been on the forefront of the Georgia clam industry is Charlie Phillips, seen here searching for large, wild clams by feeling for them with his feet. The wild clams are large and heavy for their size. Charlie has been collecting wild clams since he was a child and knows exactly where to find them. He seems to have a a genuine love of the mollusk and it's no wonder that he turned from a life of shrimping to cultivating and harvesting these bivalves.  Wild clams moments after being pulled from the water More
