ANTONIO SABATO JR - ACTOR
We thought we could all agree that the single life and dating scene are a lot of work but according to a recent Harris survey—men may not be willing to invest the time, money or effort in the dating scene. It’s no wonder that in our instant gratification society with crowded bars and expensive nights out – American men have been struggling to keep up.
But help is on the way. On Wednesday, May 15th, actor and reality TV star Antonio Sabato, Jr (of General Hospital fame), model and International heartthrob, will be on hand to discuss with your viewers how men have lost their confidence and forgotten how to date and share the survey results. Sabato, Jr, was recently named celebrity spokesperson for the International dating site AnastasiaDate.
According to the survey, more than 50% of men, ages 35-55, have turned to the digital world to find love and 65% of those men have met somebody through online dating. By meeting a woman online, men are able to gain confidence when they know that someone is interested in them and gives them the ability to find the women of their dreams that they might be too nervous to talk to in a bar or social setting. With online dating on the rise, men have turned to international dating websites to find love with beautiful women with old world values.

Can you unfry the great American french fry? Can you imagine a french fry that’s never actually been fried? A never-fried fry that preserves that real potato taste you crave? That includes only five simple ingredients? That tastes even better without all the frying?Well, now you can. And on May 15, we want to give you a taste of the great American french fry’s first major makeover in nearly a decade. Getting fried is never good. So the J.R. Simplot Company – the company recognized for creating the frozen french fry market 50 years ago – thought it was time someone made a French fry with all of the goodness and none of the fried-ness. CravOn Never Fried French Fries will be officially rolling out across Southern California on March 7, and will be available in more than 500 Southern California stores in the next few months! CravOn Never Fried French Fries are partially cooked in a blanching process and tossed in olive oil and sea salt prior to being frozen, resulting in a better-for-you french fry made with five natural ingredients, half the fat of regular fries (and none of the remorse), and a delicious, crispy texture that preserves the real potato taste consumers crave (is your mouth watering yet?). And now, we want YOU to be among the first to try a life never fried. We’ve teamed up with The Lime Truck – season two winner of the Food Network’s ‘The Great Food Truck Race’ – and its chef and founder, Daniel Shemtob, to serve up tasty inspirations featuring CravOn fries all year long.
