Robin Miller's Realistic Racetrack
At last month's South Beach Wine and Food Festival Robin Miller talked about one of the quirkiest aspects of her Food Network show: those cars that keep driving by!
You've seen them, right? The look has changed a bit from season to season, but those cars just keep on driving by, which is odd because her show is shot at Food Network studios in New York City.
Robin Miller revealed that these cars are, in fact, just video projected onto a screen. (Duh). They weren't always as seamless and realistic, though.
Robin mentioned that for a while they just had video of the same car passing over and over again, which looked strange. And in another, the cars looked like they was crashing right into the window. It took some adjustments to get the cars right.
In one video, a big HAZMAT truck pulled up and a bunch of guys in the full, protective body suits got out in the lawn-- that wasn't that good, either. Or appetizing.
I guess the cars give her show that suburban mom appeal they're looking for.

HA! Has any one else noticed that her show uses some of the same music as does Everyday Italian? 'Cmon. Can't they find something original?
I think I also saw someone ride a bike periodically throughout each episode and the person on the bike was dressed in white. Did anyone else see it too?
I can't STAND Robin. Too weird.
What's with the cooking in jackets? Not a chef jacket, I have seen this clown in a red dress blazer and a very stiff looking corduroy jean jacket type piece. She could barely even move her arms!! Get real. Giada is the best!!!
More jackets please for Robin.
More leftovers for "later".
The contestants on The Next Chef contest were way better than Robin.
She is boring.
Hope she gets grease on the jackets.
OK-does anyone other then me think her food looks disgusting? You can't morph an Italian flavored meatloaf into Mexican tacos and then morph Italian/mexican flavored beef into something else. She uses almost no salt and pepper,or spices so her food must be bland, but she acts as if it is the most delicious thing she has ever tasted. She is as annoying as the Neely's. PS...pull up your sleeves or take your jacket off. I have yet to meet anyone who dresses like that to cook.
I can't believe ANYONE can get away with what this chick does. Her knife skills are nonexistent, my 12 grand-daughter watches her to learn what not to do -Like NEVER salting the pasta water, NEVER seasoning properly, NEVER cooking anything long enough, etc. Get her otta my face, what a phoney.
I think Robin is great. I am a mom of 4 and I appreciate the easy, quick meals - not to mention my kids love the food! I don't care if it's a video showing in the background. It's a nice 'atmosphere' thing!
I agree with many of your comments that Robin should NOT be in the kitchen. She made a comment today about her "rice and peas" saying that she was using "kidney beans" so why do they call it "rice and peas." Maybe she should be informed that the Bahamians use pigeon peas!! Don't make yourself sound so stupid, find out the facts first.
