Synopsis
"Food is an incredible common bond that brings people - all kinds of people - together. Getting to know celebrities at home, in their own kitchens, right at the stove or picking dishes out for dinner, sheds an incredible insight into their personalities and hearts. Many of my guests have also become friends as a result of our breaking bread together. Star Grazing is your exclusive invitation to dine with the stars!"
-Chef Harry
