Bastianich will sign books at the Tops in Henrietta on Wednesday, October 28 from 5-7 p.m. She will also host an event in Buffalo on November 15. 

And we welcome Katie DeTar, host of Fringe Benefits, a new travel show on PBS stations across the country about destination gems in the U.S. The program airs on Saturdays at 4:30 p.m. on WXXI's Create (DT 21.3, cable 1276). Our guests:
