Check Please! Might Go Online Too
We're sure you're all excited about Check Please! South Florida, so we thought we'd share the news we learned today about the possible internet expansion:
Once those checks are endorsed, their plan is to fund a new Web site found at www.check please.tv and expand to additional markets.The site is very Chicago-heavy right now, although there is some San Francisco content (those are the only two locations that currently have Check Please!), and we imagine there will be some South Florida content up once the show airs."Check, Please!," which debuted in Chicago in 2001, will premiere its third edition in South Florida on Monday -- hosted by South Florida celebrity chef Michelle Bernstein -- after first expanding to San Francisco in 2004.
Check, Please! company founder and CEO David Manilow believes the format of the show, which invites three "everyday" people to critique suggested eateries ranging from the exotic and ultra-expensive to the Superdawg Drive-In, is well-suited for the Internet.
"We always knew the idea of people watching shortened video clips of the show in segment form made sense," said Manilow, 48, a lifelong Chicagoan. "But the bandwidth [for video] was not there when we started the show."
