Father Leo on TV

Father Leo Patalinghug—Maryland’s newest cooking celeb—is scheduled to be the subject of a feature segment at 9 a.m. Sunday (Nov. 22) on CBS’s News Sunday Morning during its annual episode devoted to food.

You may remember that the St. Mary’s Seminary priest bested chef Bobby Flay in a Throwdown fajita challenge on the Food Network this summer. But Father Leo has a bigger mission besides whipping up fabulous dishes. He encourages communal meals on his website Grace Before Meals as a way to connect families and friends.

The show was taped at Renegade studios in Hunt Valley. You can read more about Father Leo in the December issue of Baltimore magazine.
