Zac Brown: The Next Great TV Chef?
Looks like Zac Brown really loves his eat and greets. The lead singer of the Zac Brown Band told the Associated Press in an interview that he’d love to do a tv cooking show one day. The group right now cooks for their fanclub members before each show in their version of meet and greets. The father of four feels that his life is entertaining enough to get on tv regularly.
“We’ve talked about it,” Brown said about possibly doing a cooking TV show. “We’ve filmed a lot of the stuff, a lot of the cooking elements of our stuff to possibly put a show together, and we definitely will do that one day.”
What do you think about the “Chicken Fried” singer turning into Paula Deen?
