Freedom Fries Ain't Free! This week on Let's Get Real, Erica gets real about how war created foodiness; how foodiness created a nation of obese SUV driving potato people, who then needed oil for their SUVs (and now for their mobility scooters), and who now can’t pass the army physical fitness test because they’re too fat to fight. Tonight she is joined by special guest and First Gulf War veteran Corporal Chad Pagano to take us down the foodiness foxhole full of M.R.E.’s and, now, Marys. Hear him retell stories of food, hunger and everything in between in the military. This program was sponsored by Fairway Market

"They have portable field kitchens they would set up behind the lines. Generally depending on the tactical situation you could end up going there three times a day. As an infantry man you'd be lucky if you got in there once a day. The food was pretty bad for the most part."

"The biggest compliment I ever got for my food was when Bill Grimes said 'New York never knew about Austrian food and now we can't live without it!' "

"If you do the right thing - the right thing will happen to you."

"All my restaurants need to have a connection to art and architecture. It's what I call gesamtkunstwerk - when all the elements play together."

"The only difference between my restaurants and my house is that there's money involved in my restaurants."
