What a treat to take our viewers to the famous Columbus Zoo and Aquarium which is the largest Zoo in North America. And it's home to America's favorite animal lover Jack Hanna. You may recognize Jack from his own show "The Animal Adventures with Jack Hanna" or from his regular guest appearances on The David Letterman Show, Good Morning America and Larry King Live to name a few. Jungle Jack gave us the spectacular safari tour of the Columbus Zoo. We almost left our host, Conn Jackson, there to entertain the western lowland gorilla in the African Forest. The gorilla's had a hoot performing for Conn. The place was relatively quiet until Conn arrived. And then did the place awaken. It was a real treat. Hope you tune in to see all the action.
The Conn Jackson Crew also was toured around the park by Jack's daughter, Julie Hanna. Who is a true inspiriation herself. She has overcome leukemia and numerous operations on her brain. Julie loves and treats endangered species. She is noutorious for nursing them back to health. Julie has shares her story and those of the courageous endangered species making a comeback thanks to her and the folks at the Columbus Zoo.

From homelessness to sheer bliss, thirty five-year old playwright, director, producer and actor Tyler Perry is truly riding high! Within the span of only six years, he went from being "out on the streets" to "selling out" theaters wherever he goes. He has done it with not only one show - but with seven shows having successfully toured the nation and thus creating a change in the history of Black theater.
This New Orleans native has had a stellar decade and is showing no signs of letting up any time soon. In 1992, he wrote a series of letters to himself in an effort to find a catharsis for his own childhood pain. Those same letters would eventually culminate to become Tyler's first hit musical, "I Know I've Been Changed," a rousing stage play about adult survivors of child abuse. The story combines a delicate mix of comedy and drama while addressing the often times uncomfortable issues which surround one's recovery from painful childhood scars.

Kentucky is Horse Country. And it is so beautiful. Cafe Central takes you to the home of the Kentucky derby, also we visit the home stables of the most popular horse in America - Smarty Jones, and jump into the action of the biggest Horse Challenge - the Foxhall Cup. Where the top Olympic and World Champion Horses compete in Dressage, Cross Country, and Show Jumping. You are going to feel like you are on the horses themselves. It's amazing!!
Why is Kentucky called the Bluegrass State? The grass is not really blue - it's green - but in the spring, bluegrass produces bluish-purple buds that, when seen in large fields, give a rich blue cast to the grass. Haven't you always wondered why it was called blue? No matter what it is called at 6:00 AM it is absolutely beautiful! 6:00 AM! Yes, your Cafe' Crew was up and rolling to bring you a great interview from Three Chimneys Farm.
Smarty Jones, America's favorite stallion, given his heroic run through last year's Triple Crown. He won not only the famous Kentucky Derby, but also the Preakness. Smarty's tale is one from hardship to glory. This undersized, unknown, and underdog came out of no where to but a whooping on his pedigree competition. Smarty is remarkable as you will find out in our segment running this month on Cafe Central TV.
The crew just got back from the beautiful Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort and what an amazing time we had. The resort has so many things to offer their guests, golf, tennis, swimming, sailing, water sports, shopping and award winning fine dining. We had a chance to drop into some of the unique shops at Baytowne Wharf in the resort. One of my favorite shops was Magnolia and Ivy Tearoom where I had high tea with some very lovely ladies...
We tried to enjoy the many activites of the resort but there just wasn't enough time! Adventure girl, Katie, went parasailing over the gulf and I was lucky enough to have a cooking lesson with the renowned chef of the resort, Chef Chee. 
Finz Restaurant is located on the beach side of the resort with the food being only outshined by the sensational views. The crew loved Chef Chee and Finz Restaurant Chef James for allowing us to sample some of the wonderful entrees. Their hospitality was exceptional along with all the people we met at Sandestin Resort. Look for this fun show in the upcoming weeks.
Our host of The Concept, Conn Jackson, was the emcee for the most prestigious Teen Pageant, America's Jr Miss.

And a past national winner greets us each Morning on Good Morning America, none other than Diane Sawyer. As for Jr Miss -- NO bathing suits here.
