OK foodies of Connecticut, one of the first Food Network personalities that we all fell in love with is coming to Waterbury for a live cooking demo and Q&A in a couple of weeks.

According to the post from Waterbury Mayor Paul Pernerewski Jr, Ray will be appearing at the fundraiser to put on a live cooking demonstration with the help of some local kids as sous chefs, and you'll be able to sample some of those delicious dishes while they're still hot. Following the cooking demo, Ray will stick around for a Q&A session, so start thinking about all of those '30 Minute Meal' questions. The best part is that all of the proceeds from the event will benefit the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Waterbury, and the Waterbury Police Athletic League.

Back in the Day, What Concerts Did You See at Lake Compounce?
