Campfire Cafe Films Fall Season With Country Music Artists

Viewers of Campfire Cafe, the only open fire cooking show on TV, will be delighted to see their favorite Country Music stars relaxed and having fun cooking with host Johnny Nix in the new Fall 2005 season series.

(PRWEB) May 23, 2005 -- Artists featured in the new series are: Mark Chesnutt, Joe Diffie, Aaron Tippin, Adam Marshall, Andy Griggs, Mark Wills, John Conlee, Brad Cotter, Buddy Jewell, Jett Williams, Daryle Singletary, Rhett Akins, Kentucky Headhunters (brothers, Richard and Fred Young), and the legendary Ray Price.

Filmed on location in the beautiful mountains of Tennessee at the Hank Williams Estate, home of daughter Jett Williams. The series features preparation of meals in real-time using authentic recipes from the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Host Johnny Nix has guest artists baking cakes, cobblers and pies, roasting turkey, Cornish game hens and buffalo, grilling salmon, frying venison and cooking hams -- all over an open fire!

"I've never agreed to do a cooking show before", said Mark Chesnutt. "But when I saw how Johnny cooks, I knew this was something I wanted to try!" Many of the featured artists had never before appeared on a cooking show. Being outdoorsmen for the most part, guests Daryle Singletary, Rhett Akins, and Aaron Tippin are looking forward to cooking at their hunting camps with their new open fire expertise learned from Johnny.

Some of the artists were so impressed with the gourmet meals cooked that they took "to go" plates just so their wives would believe what they accomplished. Mark Chesnutt baked a Gingerbread Pear cake that he took back to the hotel for breakfast. "It was great fun working with these folks, and finding out that they love to cook outdoors just like everyone else," said host Johnny Nix. Viewers will be looking forward to each episode in the series to see their favorite performers doing something totally unexpected...mixing, chopping and roasting.

The 13-episode series premieres on PBS and RFD-TV on DISH and DIRECTV networks in September 2005. Campfire Cafe is now in its sixth season of broadcast and features the open fire cooking expertise of the nation's leading expert, Johnny Nix.
