The Boston Globe interviewed Jimmy, in advance of his two Mansfield shows (Thursday and Saturday). The interview is available at Boston.com, and midway through he mentions us northcoasters.
Q. How has the recession affected your tour? Is this the year the bubble bursts and some people will not come to see you?
A. No, we’re doing great. Thank God there are people out there who like what we’re doing. They haven’t put us on a list of things they’re not going to do because of the economy. This is their vacation and they’re not going to give it up. They may not go to Florida or buy a new car, but they won’t miss our show. I wanted to find out right away, so we went on sale early with a Detroit show — they’ve been as hard hit as anywhere — and it sold out in 20 minutes. I’m very grateful.
Happy to be your test kitchen, Jimmy.
