3. In the Galley
A Thirty-Minute Weekly TV Show
Combine the best elements of the nautical lifestyle, boating and fishing, and add one
new ingredient, cooking, and we’ve created an exciting new television show to make a
huge splash in broadcast programming today with “In the Galley.”
“In the Galley” is a thirty-minute weekly that will hook boating and fishing lovers with
its novel approach to programming content. Each show has three segments. Each
segment will appeal to a specific target audience of the nearly 70 million people who
enjoy boating every year and the nearly 50 million people who participate in fishing
annually. “In the Galley” offers another unique editorial ingredient making it a nearly
guaranteed sensation — cooking and entertaining on board!
Boating shows abound on television. Likewise, the Food Network and nearly a dozen
other networks and cable stations cater to and are chock-full of scores of ‘cooking shows’.
But, no show on television combines boating and fishing with cooking and entertaining.
“In the Galley” is the first television show to truly celebrate the nautical lifestyle of one
of the world’s leading recreational hobbies, boating and fishing. With more than 120
million people annually participating in some form of boating and fishing activities there
is an ocean full of consumers and advertiser/sponsors who will be attracted to this show
hook, line and sinker, making “In the Galley” the next ‘big catch’ in exciting new television
programming today.
Just imagine adding the flair of one of the nation’s leading Chef’s, Bobby Flay (known
as the ‘Grill Master’), to the likability and talent of a Rachel Ray and her quick and easy
thirty-minute meals, and the savoir-faire and entertainment expertise of a Martha Stewart
and you’ve got one new hot television dish consumers will relish.
So, go ahead, feel the sand between your toes, dip your feet in the water, and take a
sip of your martini, it’s time to relax and enjoy all that your boating lifestyle has to offer
with “In the Galley.”

4. In the Galley
The Need, the Opportunity
Cooking, eating, and entertaining are an important part of the boating lifestyle.
Whether bringing your provisions on board or catching your meal fresh from the sea, the
nautical lifestyle involves having fun with food, friends and family. From stir frying on the
stove in the galley or grilling on the stern, “In the Galley” will feature various ways to cook, eat
and entertain on board. Whether preparing an exotic meal or throwing together something
special in a snap, “In the Galley” will share a boatloads of tips to make the most of the
nautical lifestyle experience.
Cooking shows as a genre are an enormous hit on television; there are 56 shows that
air on 14 networks and cable stations around the country. Shows that involve boating and
fishing are also extremely popular and successful as well with scores of shows between
them airing on dozens of networks and cable stations in the United States. The market
for cooking and boating shows is both proven and enormous with a consumer appetite
that is insatiable as new shows come online and existing shows renew.
From an elegant party on a mega-yacht, to a romantic dinner on the beach, the chef
of “In the Galley” will demonstrate ways to make the most of your catch and have the most
fun doing it. Ready to party on land? The “Beach Bound” segment of “In the Galley’”
shows viewers how to create memorable meals on shore. From a clambake for a handful of
boating buddies to a full blown beach bash, our chef and party planner will delight in sharing
tips and presentation techniques to create festive environments for family and friends.

5. In the Galley
Show Format/Segments
Each thirty-minute episode of “In the Galley” will feature various main segments that
will focus on a particular aspect of the boating lifestyle:
The first 7-minute segment will focus on the boat, boating and fishing, making ‘the
catch’. The second 7-minute segment will focus on ‘the catch’ and how to prepare and
cook your dish/meal. The third and final 7-minute segment will focus on entertaining, the
art of planning and executing your dinner, whether for 2 people or 22 people.
There are four major boating categories that will serve as the basis for producing each
thirty-minute episode of “In the Galley.” Each show will focus on one boat type and that
episode will revolve around that particular type of boat. The categories are:
Mega Yachts
Yachts
Cabin Cruisers
Sportfishing Boats
“Beach Bound” is a segment that will be part of the show’s programming mix. From a
casual clambake to a bustling seafood buffet or fabulous formal sit down dinner, “Beach
Bound” brings the show to the shore where style and food presentation are as important
as preparing the meal. From a large luau to an intimate beach blanket spread viewers will
sink their teeth into fun food tips for creating festive environments for family and friends.

Lunch
Dinner
Cocktails

6. Sponsorship & Product
Placement Opportunities
The format of the show allows for varied and interesting scenes and settings that can
also double as potential income and sponsorship opportunities. For example, the boats
that are used in the show can be ‘product placements’ with either the manufacturer or a
dealer paying for ‘placement’.
The same principal applies across the board to numerous other environments and
situations, such as marinas and interesting and visually exciting ports of call in locations
around the country, the Caribbean and the world.
From rods and reels to grills, cooking utensils and all the accoutrement for the preparation
of a meal, product placement and sponsorship opportunities are many and varied. Some
sponsor/advertiser category exclusivity will be made available.
Other key categories of opportunity include, but are not limited to, the following:

Apparel
Banks/finance
Boat Dealers (all boat
types)
Boat shoes
Boat shows
Boat yards
Books and charts
Canvas shops
Captain’s training

7. Open Casting
Host Talent Auditions — Open Auditions for the
show’s hosts held during the nation’s largest boat show,
the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show
With the nation’s fixation on ‘celebrity’ and ‘stardom’ given the popularity and plethora of
‘star-maker’ and ‘reality-based’ television shows turning anyone and everyone in to a ‘star’,
or ‘idol’, the show’s producers will capitalize on this insatiable consumer frenzy by holding
‘open auditions’ for the show’s three key ‘host’ positions during one of the nation’s largest
boat shows, the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, held October 26–30, 2006.
The three principal characters required for the show are: the Fisherman/Angler, the
Chef and the Party Planner.
Ensemble Cast of Key Characters
These three ‘host’ positions allow the producers to create an ‘ensemble’ cast of recurring
principal characters that has become common and popular on many of today’s ‘reality-
based’ shows. Our recurring principal players will have the right on-air personality and
disposition, as well as experience and credibility in the areas in which they are being cast.
They will interact with one another ‘on board’ and serve as great cut-away material while we
are on the boat engaged in various other activities.
For example, while we are involved in the first segment of the show, fishing, we will
also be cutting away to our principal characters interacting with each other as well as
interacting with the weekly players who own, or are on the boat. Our host talent will be
doing other things that are of interest, such as exploring other areas of the boat, talking
about the boat, talking about trips, talking about products, talking about places they’ve
been (Note: all of these ‘talking about’ situations potentially are ‘embedded sponsor
opportunities’ that might include the ‘angling on/or showing’ of product(s).
Our principal ‘talent’ players and boat hosts for that week would also be in various
environments in the boat, such as ‘in the galley’ or in the living room, or a bar, with the
‘chef’ who might be preparing hors d’ouevres, appetizers, snacks and such. Having an
ensemble cast of players packed with personality combined with moving our players in
different parts of the boat keeps the show visually interesting, upbeat and fast paced.

8. Open Auditions
Public Relations Opportunity — Casting at the
Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show
The shows creator and executive producer, Jeff Mustard, is a veteran publicist with more
than a decade of experience working with all media — print, radio and television, both nationally
and internationally, capturing tens of millions of dollars in media exposure for clients.Drawing
upon his extensive marketing skills and creative talent, Mustard has created an extraordinary
public relations opportunity that provides a synergistic benefit to both the Fort Lauderdale
International Boat Show [FLIBS], as well as for the proposed television show.
Capitalizing on one of the largest attended boat shows in the United States, the producers
of the TV show propose a ‘live audition’ for the three principal cast of characters for this new
series. By utilizing the FLIBS as the venue for the casting, it offers multiple benefits to the TV
show’s producers as well as for Show Management.
This joint public relations venture will allow each entity, the producers of the TV show and
the producers of the Boat Show, to promote the ‘open casting of the show at the FLIBS’.
This strategy should result in wide and deep advance coverage from both consumer media
at large and the scores of boating and fishing media in particular, more specifically the
scores of publications that cover and cater to these two recreational activities. The call to
action in the press release announcing “the open auditions for this new boating and fishing
television show” will be to ‘drive the public to the Web site’, www.inthegalley.com, where
they will be able to get more information about the ‘audition and casting process’. Moreover,
this approach will offer exceptional added-value media exposure and consumer impressions
to potential sponsors and advertisers who are driven to the site.
A separate ‘studio audience’ environment will be set up where the ‘talent’ will be asked
to ‘perform their live audition’ for their taped ‘interview’ in front of a live studio audience
garnered from the attendees of the boat show.
The ‘show auditions’ allow Show Management to introduce and promote an exciting
new element into the show’s consumer programming mix as part of its own marketing
efforts in promoting the 2006 Boat Show. For example, a press release headline such as
the following is sure to get the attention of media editors: Hosts for New Fishing &
Boating Television Show Auditioning at Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show!

9. Cooking/Food Show Facts

the total universe of potential ‘viewers’ and an appropriate network/cable station/distributor
network to air the show. The launch of the show may initially include the states containing
the largest number of boating and fishing communities to establish a viewer base where
fishing and boating is an annual endeavor. As the show increases in popularity and
sponsorship, additional markets will be rolled out.

"In The Galley" Coming Soon to Your TV
MORE THAN 55 CREW auditioned
for rhe reality television show "ln The
Galley" at the International Game
Fishing Association (IGFA) in Dania
Beach, Florida, on December 13, 2006.
"This will be the first program combin-
ing the love of boating and fishing with
cooking and entertaining," said Jeff
Mustard, creator and executive producer.
"We'reclearly on to something here."
Lesley Philpott, chief stewardess on
M/ Y Sirona Ill, won the party planner
role on "In The Galley," a nautical
lifestyle show filming in South Florida. lf
the pilot is picked up, the show will
launch a 30-minuce weekly T V series
with three seven-minute segmems: mak-
ing the catch, preparing and cooking, and
dining and entertaining on board and
ashore. Four guescs will be aboard, inter-
acting with Philpott and ocher crew. A
100 ron captain and spore fisherman,
Dan Kipnis, bagged the dual role ofcap-
rain/ angler. Thechefhas yet to becast.
W hile it won't be a "real" charter
cruise on a megayachr, the reality
cruise/ catch/ cook show will be the
closest th ing co a bonafide charter for
viewers tuning in each week. "It will
give a glimpse ofbeingon a cruise," said
Philpott. "The boac is bit smaller, for
different reasons, bur you'll gee an idea
ofwhat being on a yacht is like."
FYI. "In The Galley" will not have a
crewmember walk the plank each week,
un like the breakout reality series
"Survivor", which boors someone off
the island in each episode.
If the pilot is picked up, couch pota-
toes everywhere may consider yacht vaca-
tions. The working masses also will learn
about legitimate crew jobs, perhaps cas-
ing the current shortage of American
crew one day.
Auditioning crew were anxious ro
inform the directors and viewers about
the megayacht industry. "I'm here to
hopefully get some recognition for what
we do," said Chef Neal Salisbury, ar his
audition. "Mosr people see rhe presenta-
tion ofthe meal bur don'r get ro sec what
we do," hesaid.
Philpott, an eight-year industry veter-
an, supervises three stewardesses on M/ Y
Sirona III,a 56-meter Oceanfast that runs
with a crew of 13. She's excited about the
show, even though she has no acting expe-
rience. But this stew knows how to throw
a party and is enthusiastic about repre-
senting professional crew in the megay-
acht industry. "It's exciting and scary at
the same time," she said. "But not know-
ing what's ahead of you is normal if you
work on a yacht." - USA KNAPP

II Pilar Restaurant owner
Scott Fredel will be
starring in two reality'rv
shows that deal with what
he loves the most, fishing
and cooking.
BYALEXANDRA PRIMIANI

Restaurant owner and avid
fisherman Scott Predel gets to
have his cake and eat it, too.
Predel, who owns Pilar Res-
taurant in Aventura, will
appear on not one, but two
fishing reality TV shows.
Although neither have any set
date to air, both shows deal
with what Predel has dedi-
cated his life to: fishing and
cooking.
Produced by Fred Mustard
from Mustard Man produc-
tions, the show In the Galley,
will dedicate 30 minutes to
boating, fishing, cooking and
entertaining. The first seg-
ment ofthe show will be about
catching fish, Mustard said.
The second segment is the
preparation and cooking of
fish, and the third segment
deals with entertaining guests
with the meal.
The cast of the show will
consist of a chef, an angler,
two crew mates, a captain and
a steward. Predel will be the
angler on the program.
"He's clearly an outstand-
ing fisherman, an award-win-
ning angler," Mustard said.

"He knows the waters like the
back of his hand."
The crew will boat hop and
shoot the program at different
locations in the United States
and internationally. The pro-
grammers expect boat owners
to e-mail Mustard, offering
their boats for the program.
Predel will be catching
sporting fish such as yellow
tail, marlin and tuna.
"It's just a little bit ofevery-
thing," Frede! said. "We're
showing people different loca-
tions and fish, and how to
cook them, as well as showcas-
ing some boats. It's very excit-
ing."
Predel will also be hosting,
along with two other chefs, a
reality TV show dedicated to
competitive fishing and cook-
ing. While not a competition,
Predel and the other hosts will
showcase methods and give
tips for competitive fishermen.
Predel's love of angling is
even reflected in his restau-
rant's name. Named after
Ernest Hemingway's fishing
boat, the restaurant showcases
American-style meals, specifi-
cally seafood.
He had also worked as a
fishing captain for the United
States Coast Guard before
working in restaurants and
ultimately opening Pilar.
Pilar offers seafood plates
such as pan-seared mahi mahi,
the customer's favorite, man-
ager Kenya Payero said. The
mahi mahi dish is accompa-
nied with roasted sweet
onions and plantains and costs
$17.
Payero has been an
employee at Pilar since it
opened in July 2003 and fre- ·
quently gives the chefs fruits
- such as papaya and avoca-
dos her family grows in their
backyard - to add a bit to the
menu.
"My dad plants all kinds of
stuff," Payero said. "It's what
makes our food outstanding;
everything'is so fresh."
Payero's homegrown papa-
yas serve as an accompany-
ment to the sea bass entree, at
$32, which comes with fried
ripe plantains and mashed

potatoes.
Predel said he wants each
diner to view the restaurant as
an "extension of the custom-
er's own home."
"I wanted to keep it more
cafe style," Fredel said. "Inex-
pensive and casual is some-
thing that works."
Customer Dawn Orfas feels
at home at Pilar, mostly
because of the service.
"I love somebody that
makes me want to talk to them
and can give me some advice,"
Orfas said. "A good waiter
really makes the food better."
Orfas wasn't the only one
who appreciated the service. A
party of four friends joked all
night with their favorite
waiter.
"We look for him," said
Janis Mitchell, a fan ofthe res-
taurant since its opening.
"The service is very
prompt, they acknowledge
you and you know them by
name."
Customers relax while din-
ing in the casual atmosphere.
"Our customers could
come in shorts or all dressed
up," Frede'l said. "They enjoy
it either way."
With warm and cool tones
intermixed on the walls, the
lights were positioned to shine
delicately on each table, high-
lighting the generous portions
of the plates.
"When I walked in I ·
thought, 'It's expensive, I
won't eat much tonight,"'
Orfas said, "but the size and
prices were perfect."
Herman Gans, a New
Yorker who travels to Miami
to visit friends, has dined at
Pilar fives times in the last two
months. Gans' favorite dish is
the tuna tartare appetizer,
at $9.
Gans agrees with Orfas.
"It's New York quality at
Florida prices," he said.
