This Is Where All That Leftover Food Goes When The Pioneer Woman Finishes Filming

This Is Where All That Leftover Food Goes When The Pioneer Woman Finishes Filming

Yahoo3 hours ago
Filming a cooking show is no easy task. As someone who's done it before, I can attest that it's full of long days, tired feet, and way too much leftover food. Celebrity chef Ree Drummond knows this scenario all too well, having filmed her Food Network show "The Pioneer Woman" in her ranch lodge (which you can tour!) since 2011. And when the cameras stop rolling, someone has to eat all that food -- it turns out it's usually her family.
Drummond and her husband, Ladd Drummond, have five children. The pair welcomed four kids in the years after their marriage, and their fifth child, Jamar, joined the family in 2018. This means Drummond has plenty of mouths to feed, so her food has plenty of places to go. Drummond revealed on her blog in 2020 that her kids and husband eat the leftover food. And if it's too much even for her family to enjoy, she turns to others: her hard-working crew. " If my family doesn't finish it off, the crew definitely will," Drummond said.

Drummond Likely Has Tons Of Leftover Food
Ree Drummond usually films around four recipes per episode (like her favorite lobster mac and cheese), and cooking shows don't often just film one episode per day. Depending on the length and complexity of each recipe and theme, multiple episodes can be shot in one lengthy filming day. With that said, there could be times when Drummond has anywhere from 12 to 16 leftover recipes -- and maybe some she regrets making -- to dole out to those around her. But as of 2025, all of Drummond's kids are out of the house, with Alex and Paige both married, and Bryce, Todd, and Jamar all in college.
That's likely where Drummond's crew steps in. While the kids are still home often to visit, they aren't around every time Drummond films an episode, which fans know just from watching. With that said, Drummond has mentioned she has a film crew of between 15 and 20 people, so it seems she will never have to worry about having more leftovers than she knows what to do with.

'Ketamine Queen,' woman who sold drugs to Matthew Perry, to plead guilty: DOJ

Jasveen Sangha, the so-called "Ketamine Queen," has agreed to plead guilty to five federal charges, including selling "Friends" actor Matthew Perry the dose of ketamine that led to his death in October 2023, according to the Justice Department. She agreed to plead guilty to one count of maintaining a drug-involved premises, three counts of distribution of ketamine, and one count of distribution of ketamine resulting in death or serious bodily injury, according to the DOJ. Sangha, 42, would be the last of the five people charged in Perry's death to plead guilty. MORE: Jennifer Aniston says 'Friends' cast had 'been mourning' Matthew Perry before his death She is expected to plead guilty in "the coming weeks," according to the Justice Department. She faces decades in prison for each count. "She's taking responsibility for her actions," her attorney, Mark Geragos, said in a statement. Sangha had been scheduled to go on trial in late September. The dual U.S-U.K. citizen has been in custody since her arrest in August 2024, nearly a year after Perry's death. Perry died from a ketamine overdose on Oct. 28, 2023, at the age of 54. The actor was discovered unresponsive in a jacuzzi at his Los Angeles home, police said. An autopsy report revealed he died from the acute effects of ketamine. "Sangha worked with Erik Fleming, 55, of Hawthorne, to knowingly distribute ketamine to Perry, a successful actor and author whose struggles with drug addiction were well documented," the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Central District of California said in a press release. "In October 2023, Sangha and Fleming sold Perry 51 vials of ketamine, which were provided to Kenneth Iwamasa, 60, of Toluca Lake, Perry's live-in personal assistant." "Leading up to Perry's death, Iwamasa repeatedly injected Perry with the ketamine that Sangha supplied to Fleming," the release continued. "Specifically, on October 28, 2023, Iwamasa injected Perry with at least three shots of Sangha's ketamine, which caused Perry's death." Iwamasa, who admitted in court documents to administering the ketamine on the day that Perry died, pleaded guilty in August 2024 to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine causing death, the DOJ said. He is scheduled to be sentenced Nov. 19. MORE: Doctor charged in Matthew Perry ketamine death case pleads guilty to supplying drug Fleming admitted in court documents that he distributed the ketamine that killed Perry, prosecutors said. Like Iwamasa, he pleaded guilty in August 2024 to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine and one count of distribution of ketamine resulting in death and will also be sentenced this November. Prosecutors said that upon learning about Perry's death, Sangha "called Fleming on Signal to discuss how to distance themselves from it," including instructing him to "Delete all our messages." "Two days after Perry's death, Fleming left Sangha a voicemail on Signal and texted, 'Please call . . . Got more info and want to bounce ideas off you. I'm 90% sure everyone is protected. I never dealt with [Perry]. Only his Assistant. So the Assistant was the enabler,'" the DOJ said. In her plea agreement, Sangha also admitted to selling ketamine in connection with another overdose death, prosecutors said. Victim Cody McLaury died hours after Sangha sold him four vials of ketamine in August 2019, according to the DOJ. She additionally admitted to using her North Hollywood residence to "store, package, and distribute narcotics, including ketamine and methamphetamine, since at least June 2019," the DOJ said. Authorities found 79 vials of liquid ketamine, among other drugs and drug trafficking items such as a money-counting machine, in her residence during a search in March 2023, the DOJ said. In the most recent plea in the Perry case, Dr. Salvador Plasencia pleaded guilty late last month to four counts of distribution of ketamine. Plasencia distributed ketamine to Iwamasa in order to inject the actor, however, he did not supply the doses that killed Perry. He is scheduled to be sentenced on Dec. 3. "Dr. Plasencia is profoundly remorseful for the treatment decisions he made while providing ketamine to Matthew Perry," his attorney, Karen Goldstein, said in a statement. "He is fully accepting responsibility by pleading guilty to drug distribution." Dr. Mark Chavez pleaded guilty in October 2024 to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine. He admitted he sold Plasencia ketamine to then give to Perry. He faces 10 years in prison when he's sentenced on Sept. 17.

FTC sues ticket reseller, saying it illegally exceeded purchase limits for Taylor Swift, other shows

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission filed a lawsuit Monday against a ticket broker, alleging the company used illegal tactics to exceed purchasing limits for popular events and then resold tickets at significantly higher prices. In a lawsuit filed in federal court in Maryland, the FTC said Maryland-based ticket broker Key Investment Group has used thousands of fictitious Ticketmaster accounts and other methods to buy tickets for events, including Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. According to the FTC, Key Investment Group – which does business under brand names like Epic Seats and Totally Tix – purchased at least 379,776 tickets from Ticketmaster between Nov. 1, 2022, and Dec. 30, 2023. The company spent nearly $57 million to buy the tickets and resold them on secondary marketplaces for approximately $64 million. For just one Taylor Swift concert, Key Investment Group allegedly used 49 different accounts to purchase 273 tickets, dramatically exceeding the Eras Tour's 2023 six-ticket purchase limit per event, the FTC said. Fans were so frustrated by the difficulty getting tickets for Swift's tour that the U.S. Senate wound up grilling Ticketmaster in a 2023 hearing. In a statement released Monday, Key Investment Group said it will vigorously defend itself against the FTC's lawsuit. 'The case threatens to dismantle the secondary ticket market for live events, further consolidating power in the hands of the industry's largest monopoly,' the company said. Key Investment Group said the FTC is misapplying the Better Online Ticket Sales Act, a 2016 law which it said was meant to target malicious software, not legitimate resale businesses. Key Investment Group sued the FTC in July to try to prevent the agency from using the law against it, saying it uses human employees — not bots — to buy tickets. But the FTC said that law also prohibits anyone from circumventing security measures and other controls meant to enforce posted ticket limits. In March, with Kid Rock by his side in the Oval Office, President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing U.S. officials to ensure ticket resellers are complying with Internal Revenue Service rules. The order also directed the FTC to ensure 'price transparency at all stages of the ticket-purchase process' and to 'take enforcement action to prevent unfair, deceptive, and anti-competitive conduct in the secondary ticketing market."

The Skydance-Paramount Megamerger Could Lead to Legendary Jumping Ship

A new report from Deadline reveals that Paramount, under David Ellison, is working out a deal with Legendary. This comes on the heels of the Duffer Brothers' Upside Down Productions moving from Netflix to Paramount over the weekend. The shakeups continue, as Legendary is now interested in starting a multi-picture global theatrical distribution deal through Skydance. The agreement, as Deadline reported, has been in the works since the spring and would exclude China but would give Paramount a built-in streaming window with Legendary for presumably Paramount+, which currently houses Star Trek and the Tom Cruise-led Mission Impossible franchise. It's a move that lines up with Paramount's announced plans to up its features output from 15 films a year to 20. While co-financing is on the table, the trade notes that the Legendary and Paramount slate is 'contingent on projects at hand,' and there are no titles announced yet. It also means that while Legendary is moving, pieces of its current slate are staying put in their respective homes, as Legendary doesn't exactly have an exclusive theatrical agreement with the studios it's currently working with. To give examples from Legendary's past releases, Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim was released through Warner Bros., then Pacific Rim 2: Uprising with Universal Pictures. Similarly, the first Monsterverse movie, Godzilla (2014), was originally in development at Universal before the rest of the franchise was locked in at Warner Bros. The Monsterverse, including the upcoming Godzilla x Kong: Supernova and Denis Villeneuve's Dune series, which is being capped off with 2026's Dune: Part Three, are staying put at WB Discovery. Additionally, after the massive success of A Minecraft Movie, that partnership's other comedic genre projects are expected to remain as well, including Animal Friends, a live-action animation hybrid comedy vehicle starring Ryan Reynolds and Jason Momoa.
