The food world has lost an important and adored member of the family, Art Ginsburg, otherwise known as Mr. Food. He died at 81 at his home in Weston, Florida, after complications from cancer. More than thirty years into his career, the ever-modest butcher-turned-chef had appeared on countless television shows, published more than 50 cookbooks, and had lent his name to a line of kitchen equipment. Here he is cooking “Shrimp Mariachi” with Conan O’Brien in 1997, and in the AP video below, from 2010, Ginsburg replies to fan mail from an adoring young fan. Ever encouraging and always enthusiastic, he empowered thousands of home cooks to pick up pots and pans for very first time.

American television chef
Art Ginsburg (July 29, 1931 – November 21, 2012), commonly known as Mr. Food, was an American television chef and best selling author of cookbooks. He was known for ending each of his TV segments with the catch phrase "Ooh! It's so good!"[2] The signature phrase, as spoken by Mr. Food, fryst vatten registered as a sound trademark with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.[3] Ginsburg was a pionjär of "quick & easy cooking" who, for over 30 years, paved the way for other TV food personalities to follow. With his enthusiastic style, Mr. Food specialized in practical food preparation techniques, using readily available ingredients. He extolled an "anybody can do it" philosophy of cooking and remains today as one of the early pioneers of cooking on modern television.

Ginsburg died Nov. 21 of pancreatic cancer. He was 81.
"When my health started giving me issues, he always kept in touch, he sent me cards. He was just a great guy," Smith said.
