David E. Hoffman, Creator of Food Network’s ‘The Best Thing I Ever Ate,’ Dies at 70
David E. Hoffman, creator of 'Best Thing I Ever Ate,' has died at 70.
David E. Hoffman, TV writer, author and creator of Food Network shows such as “The Best Thing I Ever Ate,” died Jan. 3 at his home in West Hollywood. From “The Joy of Pigging Out,” Hoffman developed a $2.5 million licensing campaign complete with mugs, magnets and T-shirts — showing a keen business sense in addition to praiseworthy taste. Both ‘Guilty Pleasures’ and ‘The Best Thing I Ever Ate’ are comprised of a variety of self-contained segments, each featuring a different contributor, who (in a fun, passionate, and somewhat confessional manner) discloses to an unseen, but sometimes heard, interviewer what he or she considers a favorite food within the scope of the show’s premise.”
