The Moguls of Food Porn

Are food bloggers the next Hugh Hefners? Love him or hate him, Hef is an icon. He heads a multimedia empire, and has mastered magazines, broadcast, pay TV, films, and the Internet. Now the guy keeps showing up in commercials! Are food bloggers on the same path, with their devotion to bacon and chocolate? These days, if you have a passion for food, and the ability to take sexy pictures (of dinner), make steamy videos (in the kitchen), or write erotic prose (about dessert), you might just find yourself a book deal, a television show, or even the subject of a Hollywood film starring Meryl Streep! Actress and restaurant blogger Stacie Capone will explore this phenomenon with some of the rising stars in the Food Porn movement. The audience is sure to leave hot and bothered and hungry.
