Sunny Anderson; Air Force vet on Food Network
I know you guys talk about food and cooking when you think that I’m not looking, so I thought this might interest some of you. The folks at ABC News sent us this piece they did on Army brat and Air Force veteran Sunny Anderson who has a show on the Food Network. She says she began her broadcast career in Korea on AFN;
Long before becoming a Food Network star, Anderson joined the U.S. Air Force in 1993 and worked as a radio broadcaster in Seoul, South Korea and in San Antonio, Texas. “I knew that there were radio stations, television stations, newspapers, and magazines, for the military, by the military, and I wanted to be a part of that,” says Anderson. She picked this field out of passion and since she wasn’t going to be a “lifer” in the military she focused on a career that she could do on the outside. “My transition from the Air Force started before I even got in the Air Force,” she says.
She has a cookbook coming out – ”Sunny’s Kitchen: Easy Food for Real Life”.

She speaks of her service frequently on her show, and she’s actually pretty entertaining. I dig her.
You go girl … Right on! Back in the day … she was fine!
Vets rule!
Not much of a Food Network fan these days after the Paula Dean fiasco, but I’ll make an exception and catch her show.
Thanks!
#2 Definitely was pretty hot, still is on occasions. One of the few Food network personalities I enjoy watching.
People like Sunny are an inspiration to cooks.
Just us lowly, lowly cooks. 🙂
Apparently, her mac & cheese is to die for.
“My transition from the Air Force started before I even got in the Air Force,” she says. – WTF?
Holly crap!!! Someone who is NOT a poser. This is so refreshing to see. I don’t get the Food Network here in Germany, but I would watch her show.
#6 What she probabaly meant was that even when she first enlisted, she knew she wasn’t going to put in 20 years (nothing wrong with that btw), so she choose to get into a military job that she was passionate about and could transition well to the outside when she left the service. Smart thinking in my opinion. Its just like a someone who wants to be in law enforcement after serving, joining up as a MP/SP, etc.

And she is cooking on Fox as we “speak!”
