Lisa Garza on The Rant

Lisa GarzaIn addition to the humor, headlines and hullabaloo we dish out regularly, we’ve got a treat for our listeners this week.

We’ve got our first celebrity guest tomorrow morning, Lisa Garza, one of the four finalists in this year’s “The Next Food Network Star,” which airs Sunday nights at 10 p.m. EST on The Food Network.

Listen as Lisa and I discuss the shock of going from locally known chef (Dallas, Texas) to sudden reality star. She also talks about the thrill of meeting heroes like Paula Dean and Martha Stewart, the misconceptions about her being a “diva” and … most importantly … what high school was like with Billy Liggett.

The Rant airs Wednesday mornings from 8 to 9 a.m. on WDCC, 90.5 FM. If you miss the show, come back to the blog and download the mp3 or listen to the Podcast.

I married my college sweetheart Jennifer in 2003, and today, we're the proud parents of a little girl, Hayley Alexandra (born Oct. 3, 2009) plus an 8-year-old Jack Russell Terrier and year-old Labernese.
