Regarding his engagement to Erica Wang, Wikipedia says the wedding was "cancelled in situ in 2009." I knew what in situ meant but couldn't imagine how a wedding could be cancelled that way. LOL!

What is situ? Shannon was showing his cookbook last night and it showed him with his son. He mentioned kids?

Well I don't care who he left at the altar, I just care about the quality of his cookware. lol

I will let you all know after I get them and cook a few things how great they are.

Keeping my fingers crossed. {#emotions_dlg.wub}

Did not read all the replies but yes Todd was on HSN.

He was arrested for DUI in Southampton in 2014.

Those green pans of his which he and Joy Mangano were promoting were not the best, and many HSN consumers who had purchased them gave them terrible ratings.

I replaced my one horrible green pan (12"" skillet - from HSN) with yesterday's TS from Curtis Stone. Hope these pans are better (BOGO 12"" fry pan). CS said these have 5 layers of non-stick. We'll see.

They all work on TV! LOL

"In situ" means he literally cancelled the wedding at the altar.....she was waiting for him on the day at the place and he either was a no-show or stopped by long enough to say he changed his mind. Ultimately he did her a huge favor although I am sure she didn't feel that way at the time. Cooks Illustrated recommends a T-fal 12.5 " non stick skillet as the best on the market. I have it, is was around $20 from Amazon and it is fabulous...the only non-stick pan in my kitchen.

Not so fast...Looks like he dodged a bullet. See the link below. She has been arrested for shoplifting and admitted to stealing 46,000 in clothing in a previous incident. {#emotions_dlg.ohmy}

Wow--- I, like probably most people, was quick to AS--SU--ME that he was the problem. He might have known things that no one else did....Happy St.Patrick's Day (webbie would not let me put the 2 ses together.)

They were birds of a feather, DUI and he was photographed with three nude models in a hot tub n NY I think. His restaurant shared with his son suffered and other business enterprises as well. I think Evine is his last resort.

Oh darn. I ordered his ceramic cookware. I hope it isn't just junk. It looks nice, but now I am having second thoughts. Looking at reviews I could not find this particular set, it is brand new and no reviews show up. Oh well, it is only $150 or so and if it is junk, I will just return it. I need a new set so bad that it is worth the chance. I will up date and let you all know what happens. Wish me luck.

{#emotions_dlg.wub}

I don't know if this was what I got from HSN but was a TS last year, choice of large or smaller skillet. I got 2 large skillets, They were a Joy M and someone else? I love these skillets. As said, don't know if they were TE ones or not but weren't called green pans, ceramic over aluminum and love mine, easy to use, non stick that's for sure and quick and easy clean up.
