DIG IN with Chef Duke is the # 1 Saturday Program on WSMB

New Orleans  DIG IN with Chef Duke, a unique Radio Show on WSMB 1350 AM that offers an off kilter look at what's happening in the New Orleans area entertainment, has risen to the top of WSMB's hourly ratings for a Saturday show. With it's 1.5 share of the market which equates to approximately 3400 listeners at any given time has surpassed other WSMB favorites such as the Dan Gill Show (1.2), Stirring it Up with Chef John Folse (1.3) and more to reach the top spot of WSMB's Saturday line up.

The show which is hosted by Chef Duke and his brother Rocky gives a rare honest look at New Orleans as well as the two hosts themselves. Chef Duke's wit and blatantly honest demeanor are just one of the aspects that make this show a hit. The eclectic mix of topics and focus also make this show consistently entertaining. 

The rapport the two brothers have together is fun especially when they aim digs at each other and their convenient scapegoat "Nick the Engineer" playfully.

The format and name "Dig In" are products of Rocky while Chef Duke delivers his ever popular persona to the mix. The show features all the movers and shakers of the New Orleans entertainment movement of the present and of the future. This includes musicians, chefs, models, dancers, journalists and local artists and of national fame. All sponsors, guests and spokes models are also featured on www.Digforum.com to add to the experience. The show also has a softer side that rallies around charity events and local causes such as Chef Duke's Foundation for Kids, a New Orleans Police officer struck with Cancer or a plea to save N.O. Brass Hockey to name a few.

Whatever the case may be DIG IN with Chef Duke is # 1 and plans to stay that way. Listen this Saturday from 12:00pm-1:00pm to 1350 AM to find out what's cooking in New Orleans... it's usually a hell of a lot more than just food.
