I Like Food, Food Tastes Good, I Like Food, Food Tastes Good!

(This comes from the Hot Plate Detroit website. Check out the show and the site - they have rock bands and good food)

The Hot Plate Manifesto
You've made a wise choice. You may not yet realize the magnitude of the project but we hope you can sense the propensity.

Of course, word is out. All over town and perhaps the world by now. If not, then certainly soon. You see, it is all a matter of time.

Have you ever felt like changing the world? Stick with me now. What we mean to say is, "Are you ready for what may be termed radicalism?" This kind of gig might not be suitable for the weak hearted.

Television. Oh sure, there are those who deny its very existence. Many will boast of being TV free, as if it some lecherous beast on the prowl, and they are the righteous. Ahh, but we know the truth. That damn magic box is our friend. The good old reliable Uncle Dirty of our present medium, the Internet.

Let us into your homes. We are going to have a party. We will take you to Ground Zero, and leave for you there for 30 minutes at a time. You might learn something.

But please, before you get too excited, let us be clear. This show is not about The Kahn or El Terrible. It's about the guests. We don't believe in the oxymoron called reality TV. So go ahead and put those preconceived notions back in your shirt pocket. What we expect is for you to get the message. HOT PLATE is entirely devoted to food and music. Watch and see what unfolds when these elements unite. Then you will see the truth. We could tell you more about the show, but that sort of kills the surprise. The revolution of our age is exploding by and drawing us away from ourselves. HOT PLATE is a reminder. At this point, all you see is a seedling, but the root structure is getting stronger day by day. Watch it grow.

Eat well. Tune in for updates.
