Feast with Heston Blumenthal is the new Channel 4 food series with the menacing tagline 'Dont Try This at Home'.

We should know, we we there.

Why? Because the Optomen Television, the production company producing the new 'Feast with Heston Blumenthal' series contacted Delicious Italy s.r.l in 2008 and commissioned us for location work both prior and during the shoot.

The filming took place in the Monti Sibillini territory and was set in some fantastic spots in the zones of Force and Loro Piceno and with the collaboration of many local people, their friends and families.

Nevertheless, our man on the ground in Le Marche informed us recently of an entry on the Italy Mag magazine website forum.

We quote:

Hi, My husband has just made a very quick visit to check on our builders. He stayed at the Paradiso in Amandola. Sitting on the next table at breakfast was Heston Blumenthal - for those who don't know of him he is one of the top (if not the top) chefs working in the UK winning awards (many of which he won year after year) for chefs' chef, best restaurant in UK, second best restaurant in the world, three michelin stars etc etc. He was with a bloke and then another one joined them. Anyone know what he's doing there (could be filming for one of tv series or something ???)

Being too modest to reply on the Forum itself, we encourage everybody to keep looking at the Channel Four UK television schedules in March 2009.
