Katie Couric, news anchor, becomes Katie Couric, cooking show host
Market Watch ^ | 1/7/2017 | Kristiano Ang

On a blind date with private-equity executive John Molner in early 2012, her future husband ordered a soft-shell crab appetizer and pork belly entree. “I thought ‘wow, this guy eats with gusto,” recalls Yahoo’s global news anchor, 60. “That’s my kind of man.” (That night, Couric accidentally ordered a $500 bottle of wine because she was trying to impress her husband-to-be.)

Food, you see, is her thing — she admits she’s “always been slightly neurotic” about it — which may explain why the Yahoo YHOO, -0.27% anchor, who reportedly earns $10 million annually, is waiving her fee for “Full Plate with Katie and John,” a five-episode cooking series that debuts Sunday in collaboration with kitchenware retailer Sur La Table, her hubby and chef Joel Gamoran. The show, which streams on the dining goods company’s website, will feature the trio making a healthy gourmet meal. Couric also recently made a documentary called “Fed Up” about the food industry. (snip)

Though Couric has always loved to eat, she hasn’t always loved to cook; her kitchen was once a place for “excess stuff like suitcases,” she says. But now that she has moved into her $12.2 million Upper East Side apartment, complete with a Wolf gas range, and is hosting a new show, things are changing.

Why was she repeatedly flying out to Jeffrey Epstein grape Island?

she didn’t do it just one time she did it like 10 times.

obviously there was something she liked out there.

Thankfully, it’s a commercial that will play on the company’s site and not my tv. Don’t see how this is news.

Katie who?

Katie, of "KKK" payola fame.

And of the "couric", a measurement used for fecal matter: 1 couric = 1.133981 kg.
