Triple M Dubbo’s Alo Baker has landed a contract for a new TV show with Channel 7 for “The Food Dude”
 
Alo has been making this style of content on HIT/Triple M social media pages for several years, and says, “The Food Dude started back when I was the workday announcer on SeaFM/Hit Gold Coast. I kind of stumbled across it by accident when I made a social media video about 15c wings at a local restaurant thinking it could be a fun local piece of content.
 
“The video racked up thousands of views/comments in a matter of hours so I made another one and it was even more popular than the first, so I made more and more until some of the videos were getting hundreds of thousands of views.”

 
Alo is already producing another show for 7mate called ‘Aussie Dreamlivers’ about taking a trip across Alaska and Texas with some mates, and pitched Food Dude to as a way to showcase foodie establishments across Australia but also to give local businesses a little love Mid/Post Covid and they loved it.
 
The Food Dude will be an 8-episode (22minute) series airing on 7mate from March 2021 and Alo says the show “…will showcase the very best that Australia has to offer in food. From food challenges to unusual offerings in Australian food we endeavour to showcase the very best in Australian restaurants in places you might not expect”
