Emmys Have Great Taste In TV

Congrats to out longtime pal Tony Monte, Executive Producer of one of New York’s favorite TV shows, Celebrity Taste Makers, which just earned an Emmy nomination in the Interview/Discussion category for the episode featuring Oscar-nominated actor Chazz Palminteri. Every Saturday at 6pm host Lisa Mateo takes viewers for a ride with celebrities as they visit their favorite New York restaurant and discuss their life, career, new projects — and food. Viewers then learn how the chefs prepare the meals in the show’s recipe segment. Since debuting on WPIX/New York in November of 2012, Celebrity Taste Makers produced more than 90 episodes and has aired more than 200 times. The program attracts many Fortune 500 companies along with local business owners as advertising and integration partners.

Regarding the Emmy nomination, Monte said, “The New York Emmy nomination is a reflection of our crew’s tireless work and belief in Celebrity Taste Makers, along with the celebrity guests and restaurateurs whose contributions are invaluable. PIX 11 is an outstanding partner and had the courage to put its actions where its mouth is… for which I’m forever grateful. The recognition by NATAS is humbling and truly an honor. My team and I enthusiastically embrace this and the projects we have in development.”
