The new one-hour reality series, "2 Fat 2 Fly," premiered last week on the  Oprah Winfrey Network . The second episode airs Saturday at 10 p.m., featuring a segment with yours truly that was shot at Sweetwater Brewing Co . in Oct. 2014.

The show follows Columbia, S.C. best friends Corey Simmons and Ramone Dickerson, owners of 2 Fat 2 Fly , a food truck business that sells their special style of chicken wings stuffed with savory fixings like jambalaya, collard greens, and mac-and-cheese.

In the first episode, Simmons and Dickerson toy with the idea of leaving Columbia and moving to a larger market, then visit Charlotte to try out a food truck event. In this week's episode, they set up for an event at Sweetwater as a test to see if Atlanta would be a better possibility.

That, dear readers, is where I come in for my minute of reality show fame.

Apparently, Simmons and Dickerson were stalking opinions about their wings, and figured the best way to entice me was with a fresh IPA.

They are very funny guys, and they have a  good time, while I try to do my very best impression of Guy Fieri, complete with the chomp take.

It's an embarssing little thing they call Corey and Ramone Smooze Bob Townsend .

Stay tuned for more....
