Alex Petrenko is really into cooking, actually. He has a lot of fond memories of helping his Mom cook traditional Russian food as a kid and these recipes will be the focus of his new show "Cook Like A Russian with Alex Petrenko." He doesn't know what the budget's going to be for the pilot but if possible he'd like his mom to appear because she's the inspiration for the show and it'd be nice to see her and all that. His favorite thing to cook with her was always beef stroganoff so he hopes that recipe will make it to the first episode. He probably should invite some of his teammates to be on the show to cook with him but if he really wants to crossover into the non-sports fan market he's going to have to diversify. Maybe he can get some Food Network personalities to appear on the show. He can't think of any that do Russian cooking but they'd probably be interested in learning, right? Amanda Freitag always seems pleasant on Chopped. Maybe she wants to learn how to make borscht the way his mother does? Alex is a pretty low key guy so he doesn't want anybody to intense on there. Like he likes Guy Fieri but he's not sure he'd be able to handle sharing a kitchen with him. But, you know, if he wants to be on the show he totally can. Hockey doesn't last forever, right? Maybe this will be a good retirement gig.
