Press Room

Nine-year-old Nathan Godsey hosts the new show Fun Food Adventures broadcasting internationally on TBN. The show is a cooking and travel program with lots of adrenaline pumping activities added in. It is not unusual to see Nathan snowboarding, rock climbing, or taking a hot-air balloon ride on a show that is more than how to cook or where to eat. This young adventurer travels the US and overseas while mixing in activities that would make anyone want to go along. There is no other program like it. Fun Food Adventures reaches out to people of all ages with it's family centric activities, recipes, and themes as opposed to most cooking shows that only target older audiences.

Nathan, at age 7, won a national cooking contest on The Food Network and got to cook with Chef Emeril Lagasse. Nathan says, "I always loved to watch the cooking shows, and my little brother and I would pretend to host our own show in our kitchen". His dream has now become reality. Nathan often meets with gourmet chefs to help them cook up something delicious. "Then I get to eat it, which is the best part". Other times Nathan prepares a kid-friendly recipe by himself that his viewers can try at home. When asked what his favorite dish to fix is, he replied, "I like making my own maki roll sushi at home. It is also fun to host sushi rolling parties where we teach friends how to do it, too." Nathan's parents who home schooled him and his siblings since age four commented, "Nathan has always been a go-getter. It was his idea to enter the contest, to start his own show and have his own website. We just try to keep up with him."

Nathan's show has filmed at ski resorts, professional cooking schools, restaurants that rank in America's Top 25, and ethnic events like Japan Fest and Scottish Highland Games. "We come up with show ideas that we know will be fun to shoot. It is as much fun making the show as it is to watch it."

When asked why TBN picked up the show, Brenda Rossman, a director of programming stated, "I am very excited that Fun Food Adventures will be debuting on both Trinity Broadcasting Network and our 24 hour Smile of a Child children's network. This series really appealed to me because of Nathan's cute charm and amazing talent as a host. His inviting personality, maturity, and ability on camera are very rare for someone his age. Not only is he comfortable in front of the camera, he truly connects with people. As a program director for TBN, finding a show of this depth and variety is like finding hidden treasure -- learning about other cultures and foods with a carefree, fun approach is what kids want to see and what parents want them to learn about."

Fun Food Adventures will air both in the US and internationally Saturday mornings (9 PST / 12 noon EST) on TBN starting Oct. 7th and six days a week on Smile of a Child. In South Carolina, it will air on Thursdays at 3:30 pm. For more information about Nathan Godsey or Fun Food Adventures go to www.funfoodadventures.com, more about TBN at www.tbn.org.
