Host of The Dr. Oz Show

“There’s always that one day toward the end of the month when the air turns crisp and you need to turn on the heat in your apartment for the first time. For me, that day is also always the day to break out a pot, simmer some dark, spicy cocoa in milk and have a cup. Pure heaven.” Gail Simmons,
Food and Wine Special Projects Director and Head Critic, Bravo’s “Top Chef Masters”

Brooklyn Decker
“Every Halloween I gorge on Skittles like they will not be around the following year. Oh, who am I kidding? I do that monthly, regardless of whether it’s October or not.” – Brooklyn Decker,
