I had a chance to sit down and chat with Food Network personality Sunny Anderson who is the host of “Cooking for Real” during Saturday’s Sunset Sliders event at Caesars Rooftop Pool. Here is some of our conversation.
What brought you back to Food and Wine Festival?
Sunny: “It’s my backyard. It’s Atlantic City, It’s the Shore and it’s a quick trip down. They have a lot of cool local stuff like the beaches, the tomatoes … I like it and it’s fun. I like to call it Comic-Con for people who love food.”
Are you looking forward to coming back again?
Sunny: “Of course. Anytime they want to come back I am here. I always have a really good time and it’s a really good way to kind of meet everyone … The great equalizer is food. We’re all are going to get hungry if we don’t have food.”
Do you have a favorite event at the festival?
Sunny: “This one right here [Sunset Sliders] is my favorite event. It’s relaxed. It’s by the pool so everyone knows there really is no dress code … It’s outdoors and the weather has held up for us two years in a row. Even though it’s a little sweltering right now we are all like sticking together so it’s cool.”
It’s a pool party, but no one is in the pool?
Sunny:”I keep fighting to get the budget for naked-ish models in the pool. Not naked, but like tight Speedos, girls with cute bikinis. But it’s like a total waste of pool. We need something in there.”
