A turducken brings food fame to SarasotaSEEN & HEARDMatt Rebhan's 15 minutes of fame will light up TV sets around the nation beginning Saturday at 8 p.m., when his knife-wielding skills will be featured on Guy Fieri's "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives" on the Food Network. Rebhan, son of Alpine Steakhouse owner Mark Rebhan, is the show's finale feature for an episode about turkey. The Sarasota restaurant/deli's specialty is turducken, the poultry version of Russian nesting dolls: boneless chicken inside boneless duck inside boneless turkey, with layers of stuffing between the meats and Cajun andouille sausage on top. The younger Rebhan hasn't seen the spot but says the two and a half days of filming for a seven-minute segment showed him the hard work that goes into television. Fieri's demeanor made the work less daunting, Rebhan said. "I was very nervous," he said. "But I did what I did; we talked about it, joked about it. It made it fun." The turducken episode is to air eight times between Saturday and Nov. 25. From the archives Veteran actor Lloyd Bridges was in Sarasota to film an NBC movie on the life of high-wire artist Karl Wallenda and his family. The film, shot at the Wallenda residence on Arlington Street in Sarasota and several other locations, documented the Wallendas' unique pyramid act and the family's comeback following a tragic accident in 1962. Bridges enjoyed learning the rudiments of high-wire walking, just as he had enjoyed learning scuba diving for the popular television show "Sea Hunt." He became an avid scuba diver during the series. While in the area he intended to go diving off the coast of Venice for sharks' teeth. Oct. 30, 1977 Sarasota Herald-Tribune Staff writers Cathy Zollo and Nancy Traylor contributed to this report. |
