FYI's new original series, "Rusty's RockFeast: Backstage with Zac Brown Band," follows Chef Rusty Hamlin, and the Grammy award-winning Zac Brown Band, as they tour the U.S. and cook up gourmet, locally-sourced cuisine for loyal fans. Seven half-hour episodes are set to premiere on Thursday, July 23 at 10pm ET.
In "Rusty's RockFeast: Backstage with Zac Brown Band," Chef Rusty, Southern Ground's Executive Chef, tours across the U.S. with Zac and the band, cooking up southern cuisine in a state-of-the-art, 18-wheel mobile kitchen named "Cookie." At every tour stop, Chef Rusty and his rock-star culinary team prepare for their famous "Eat & Greets," an intimate, one-of-a-kind, sit-down meal for a few hundred fans of the Zac Brown Band. "Our love for music and food had me and Rusty thinking about how to give our fans the most memorable experience," said Zac Brown. "It breaks down all barriers with the fans when we are at their service. We serve them up amazing food and it's the perfect way to really get a chance to meet them and do something different. I'm constantly impressed at how Rusty pulls it off every night not knowing what groceries he's going to have. It's off the cuff every day and he makes it look so easy."Videos
