Robin Miller's Realistic Racetrack

[foodnetworkaddict.com]

At last month's South Beach Wine and Food Festival Robin Miller talked about one of the quirkiest aspects of her Food Network show: those cars that keep driving by!


You've seen them, right? The look has changed a bit from season to season, but those cars just keep on driving by, which is odd because her show is shot at Food Network studios in New York City.


Robin Miller revealed that these cars are, in fact, just video projected onto a screen. (Duh). They weren't always as seamless and realistic, though.

Robin mentioned that for a while they just had video of the same car passing over and over again, which looked strange. And in another, the cars looked like they was crashing right into the window. It took some adjustments to get the cars right.

In one video, a big HAZMAT truck pulled up and a bunch of guys in the full, protective body suits got out in the lawn-- that wasn't that good, either. Or appetizing.

I guess the cars give her show that suburban mom appeal they're looking for.

Never noticed the cars.

I have noticed the cars but did not notice it was the same car. Seems like they would shoot the show in a real home if you want to make it homey. They could come shoot at my house, as long as they brought a new Dacor 48 " preferable (GAS)that is one thing I would just love.
