The Check, Please! South Florida cast and crew recently returned to the WPBT2 studios to tape five brand new episodes, scheduled to hit the air in January. Of course, award-winning chef and host, Michelle Bernstein was back to corral a group of talkative foodies, and to share some enticing new recipes of her own.
Producers sifted through a pool of nearly a thousand applicants to choose 15 lucky finalists for this season. Look for such colorful characters as an inked-up tattoo artist, an opinionated newspaper columnist, and a fun-loving preschool director. A South Beach artist, a Palm Beach private investigator, and a longtime flooring retailer (who's become a local legend) will join in the fun.
The restaurant choices are still under wraps, but expect to see a whole menu of mouthwatering options -- from Korean to karaoke bar, from Peruvian to pizza.
Over the next two months, the camera crew will visit the restaurants to film the interviews with the owners and the shots of the featured dishes. In the meantime, producers are scanning the applications again to find the next group of amateur critics for the next studio taping in January 2010. Keep those recommendations rolling in!
