Local dining blogger explains why Channel 12 booted him from studio

Anyone who follows the Valley food blogging scene probably heard about a dust-up this week between blogger Eric Schaefer and Channel 12.

The incident occcured Thursday when the Scottsdale resident was invited to judge a sandwich contest on the Tram Mai-hosted “Valley Dish” show – only to be asked to leave before the show started.

At issue was an obviously joking Tweet that Schaefer (@ericeatsout) sent out Wednesday:

I will be on @ValleyDish tomorrow.  Watch me get @tram_mai her first FCC fine. #wardrobemalfunction

Now, Schaefer has posted his side of the story on his Eric Eats Out blog.
