I don't think so, Tyler. I think Chef Michael is simply a make-believe person that Purina created for their dog food. Like Betty Crocker and Gold Medal Flour; she doesn't really exist.

Ummm. No! LOL I don't even think he owns a dog.

He's a very well known Canadian Chef and has a very popular cooking show on The Food Network.

I was told this same thing by a chef - get good cast iron in a couple of sizes for real cooking and a couple of super cheap non-stick for light duty things like eggs, grilled sandwiches, etc.

LOL I dont know why I instantly thought of that commercial with that chef guy and his dog. I always thought it was an actual chef who started making dog food. Im gonna have to figure that out cuz its gonna drive me nuts not knowing for sure that odd little tidbit of info that will stick in my head forever and never be of any use. LOL

Got my bottles of Grey Goose and Wild Turkey (I don't know a good bourbon, so I always go with Wild Turkey, sometimes the WT Russell's Reserve ). When I get home from work tonight, I have to braise a chuck roast and make a pan of sticky buns. While the dough is rising and the beef is in the oven, I'll split and scrape my vanilla beans. The kitchen is going to smell wonderful!!

Here are DH's recommendations for Bourbon:
knob creek, bulleit, maker's mark

I know Knob Creek is popular with him and his brother. I have two bottles to prove it. It makes a nice decorative bottle too.
