Perhaps best known as the jovial weatherman and a host of NBC's The Today Show, Al Roker is no stranger to television—or food. Now’s he’s combining the two with his own multimedia company that is creating several TV cooking shows for the Food Network.

In addition to his NBC network duties, Roker has carved out a successful career as an entrepreneur. Now in its fifth year, Al Roker Productions, Inc. is Al's thriving multimedia company set up to produce "all things Al." The company is involved in the development and production of network, cable, home video and public television projects, including Roker on the Road for Food TV and a series of specials, including Al Roker's World Championship Barbecue, Al Roker's Midwest Fest, Al Roker's Dining on the Strip and Al Roker's Around the World in New York City.

Roker on the Road
Roker on the Road takes Al Roker’s his love of food and his fascination with people across America. Roker on the Road introduces viewers to some interesting characters: the founder of a website that reviews potato chips; members of a men’s-only gourmet cooking club; and even a Russian immigrant who serves gourmet meals at his hockey rink snack stand. Al also learns the ins and outs of being a short-order cook, makes donuts, tries to run a busy deli counter at lunchtime and much more.
