"Roker On The Road" Hits the Road for Second Season Popular Series Featuring Al Roker Airs Tuesdays at 9 PM ET/PT on Food Network (May 1 - New York, NY) Al Roker continues to take his love of food and fascination with people across America on Roker on the Road, every Tuesday night at 9 PM ET/PT on Food Network. Each week, Al introduces viewers to an assortment of interesting characters whose lives are enriched by their love of food, from the “Seltzer Sisters” and the “Pizza Police” to a custom canine cake creator and a produce sculptor who photographs his crispy creations for children’s books. Roker on the Road takes everybody’s favorite weatherman to the crossroads of America to see just how deliciously fun our national love for food has become. Al tries his hand at some challenging food jobs -- ever wonder what it takes to be a short order cook, a donut maker, or run a busy deli counter at lunchtime? Al tells the touching and fascinating stories of people who build their dreams around food. He finds those quirky off-the-beaten-path characters who tickle us all - the potato-chip man who runs a web-site critiquing every chip he lays his hands on, the young woman who lost her job but now makes her living selling homemade dog biscuits, and the mother-daughter team whose mouth-watering chocolate creations range from “spaghetti and meatballs” and “TV dinners” to “starfish” and “sand buckets.” As weatherman and a host of NBC's The Today Show, nine-time Emmy Award winner Al Roker greets more than 30 million viewers each week as America prepares for work. Al has hosted a successful series of specials for Food Network, including Roker's BBQ Showdown, which premieres June 15th at 9 PM, Al Roker's Midwest Fest, Al Roker's Dining on the Strip, and Al Roker's Around the World in New York City. A best-selling author with two acclaimed books to his credit, Al's first book, Don't Make Me Stop This Car: Adventures in Fatherhood spent weeks atop the New York Times bestseller list, and his latest book, Al Roker's Big Bad Book of Barbecue has become a summer blockbuster and New York Times bestseller as well.
