15 Lesser-Known Facts about ‘Queer Eye for the Straight Guy’


12. Ted Allen Auditioned Unexpectedly

Ted Allen didn’t intend on auditioning for the show. In fact, he didn’t even know the show existed until a friend told him about the casting notice. So he caught a flight from Chicago to New York City and proceeded to impress the producers when he bonded perfectly with the other four men.

Allen now spends his time on various Food Network programs, including Beat Bobby Flay and Dear Food Network. In 2008, he appeared on Iron Chef America as co-reporter for the program’s Thanksgiving special. He also writes features for Esquire magazine and has published multiple cookbooks.
