“There’s so much creativity in the regular turkey and stuffing. The trend I see is Peking duck style turkey,” added the reality TV star who also appeared on Celebrity Big Brother.

“This is the year I launch my business and brands, instead of just focusing on TV,” he told DailyMail.com.
“I’ve always wanted to be part of an ice cream brand and create great flavors, additions and combinations.
‘Cold Case was the perfect combination. I became a partner with them and now we create ice cream magic through creative marketing and names and of course the most original flavors.
“Dirty Bird is also one of my favorite projects, the first drive-through chicken and tender sandwich location is in Utah and there will be hundreds more to come.
‘It’s perfectly seasoned and has incredible sauces. I always dreamed of a drive-in and now I have one.
‘In the coming weeks I will be launching Foodgod.com (All food, all the time).’
He has a close friendship with Kim, whom he met more than fifteen years ago when he was working as a publicist and she was an aspiring reality TV star.
