About the Author:

Leo Pearlstein, known as the "king of culinary public relations," pioneered the food product publicity genre by helping create many of talkshow TV's most memorable and humorous segments, such as with Steve Allen and Dinah Shore. He also created publicity opportunities with many of America's favorite movie and TV stars, as well as music, sports and political celebrities.

While working in his parents' small grocery store in Los Angeles, he was an award-winning student and one of the earliest marketing graduates from USC. "Celebrity Stew" shows how he combined his marketing expertise with celebrities, to draw extra attention to his clients' food products.
