On location: WRDE Arts & Entertainment Report with Michael Sprouse

I'm really looking forward to the next segment of the WRDE Arts & Entertainment Report (airing Wednesday, August 20th during the 6 and 11 PM newscasts.) Last night, I had the chance to sit in with and interview Paul Cullen (one time bassist for one of the most acclaimed bands of the classic rock era - the über-famous "Bad Company") during one of his recent - and very popular -"Tune Your Palate" Private Chef In-Home Events.

“Renaissance Man” Paul Cullen prepares pasta from scratch while being filmed by Nick Gruber (the WRDE Arts & Entertainment very talented and creative videographer) during a recent taping of the show.

Though at one time Paul could be found on stage playing before crowds of at least 30,000 enthralled fans, he is now completely comfortable - and quite successful - as an all-in-one gourmet chef, well-honed wine specialist and premier acoustic jazz guitarist. Groups of at least 10 guests or more can hire Paul to come into their home where he and his team will prepare a four course sit down Italian dinner which includes a region specific Italian wine pairing with an enchanting acoustic concert by Paul afterword (leave the serving, pouring and clean up to Paul and his team.) It makes for a truly enjoyable and memorable occasion and I can tell you from first-hand knowledge that the food is absolutely, knock-your-socks-off, spectacular.

You'll not want to miss the August 13th WRDE Arts & Entertainment Report to learn more about Paul's fascinating "Renaissance Man" journey from superstar rock-and-roll status to culinary arts celebrity, wine specialist and top-notch jazz acoustic guitar talent.
