As you may have heard, well-known local chef and owner of Pallookaville, Jim Stacy, has a new Cooking Channel show, “Offbeat Eats with Jim Stacy“.

Have you had a chance to check it out yet?  Well, if not, here’s an opportunity.

Check out a clip of “Extra Bites” above and head over to his Cooking Channel page to what a few more.

Also, if you’re wondering, “who is Jim Stacy?”, this Cooking Channel Q&A “26 Questions with Corndog Maestro Jim Stacy” is a good intro.  (Pssst: Chai Pani’s Kale Pakoras get a shout out!)

Celebrity chef Jim Stacy’s long-awaited Pallookaville restaurant is set to open today for a “preview party” in downtown Avondale Estates.  The spot will then close until next Monday, November 4th when it will presumably open for good.

The AJC had an entertaining story on Jim Stacey and Pallookville a couple of weeks back – but it’s behind the wall o’ pay.
