Food Network to feature Team Jeg’s chef

There’s fast food and food that’s fast, food on the fly and even food that flies, and the Food Network will be tracking it all in an upcoming feature entitled “Top 5 Foods on the Fly.” The show, which features decorated Team Jeg’s chef Nicky Morse, will air at 11:30 p.m. ET/PT, Saturday, Oct. 16, and again at 3:30 a.m. ET/PT, Sunday, Oct. 17, on the Food Network.

A network camera crew was on hand for the season-opening 44th annual K&N Filters Winternationals in Pomona, Calif., to tape Morse in action as he prepared cuisine for the Jeg’s gang. The show has been in production ever since, leaving Morse wondering where his gastro delights rank in comparison to the other “Foods on the Fly.”

“First of all, it’s an honor to bring the sport of NHRA Drag Racing to a different audience,” Morse said. “It was a lot of fun taping the episode and I am really looking forward to seeing the final product. I have no idea where we landed in the Top-5. I’ll be watching just like everyone else.”
