On Wednesday, June 4, the Food Network will be coming to DelGrosso\u2019s Amusement Park to tape the first Spaghetti Wednesday of the year for their hit TV show \u201cUnwrapped\u201d, with host Marc Summers.
\nWhether you\u2019re a Food Network enthusiast, a fan of the show, or wish to be seen on national TV, officials hope you\u2019ll join the DelGrosso family in welcoming the \u201cUnwrapped\u201d production team to show them and the entire country what a wonderful place central Pennsylvania can be for great food and fun.
\nThe \u201cUnwrapped\u201d crew will begin taping at the park at 4:30 p.m., and your best chance to see them in action will be to come at that time.\u00a0The shoot at DelGrosso\u2019s Amusement Park will end a full day of taping at DelGrosso Foods where the process of making pasta sauce will be captured in detail as part of the program.
\nFood Network\u2019s \u201cUnwrapped\u201d reveals the answers to these questions and more.\u00a0Each week, host Marc Summers teaches viewers how food is manufactured, from cans of fruit cocktail and cherry cordials to Super Blow Pops and Life Savers.
\nPart history lesson, part behind-the-scenes tour, Unwrapped feeds your appetite for learning something new about what\u2019s stored in your pantry.\u00a0 Packaged around a single theme, like \u201cthings that fizz\u201d or \u201cthings with holes in it,\u201d each episode features bite-sized portions of everything you never knew about your favorite foods.
\nFood Network will capture the production process of how DelGrosso Foods makes it famous pasta sauces from start to finish. After several hours filming at the plant, cameras will shoot footage at DelGrosso\u2019s Amusement Park and the first official \u201cSpaghetti Wednesday\u201d of the summer season, which begins at 4:30 p.m. In addition, Michael DelGrosso and Joe DelGrosso will each conduct on-camera interviews to talk about the rich history behind their family business and where the company is today.
