Al just returned home to New York after spending the weekend at the Food Network & Cooking Channel South Beach Wine & Food Festival, which is a “national, star-studded, four-day destination event showcasing the talents of the world’s most renowned wine and spirits producers, chefs and culinary personalities.”
It was a weekend full of celebrities and food indeed, as the television host shared pictures with Dwayne Wade as well as culinary icon Guy Fieri, and announced he was judging the festival’s Burger Bash and doing a demonstration on prime rib and yorkshire pudding.
However, as much as Al admitted to enjoying the festival’s food and wine offerings, he revealed that he is changing his habits upon his return to New York.

Viewers were hit with back to back surprises, as Paul Rudd first appeared to announce he had contracted the ironically exciting variant. Just as the comedians are celebrating, Al comes in, rather fittingly, holding a seemingly never ending sandwich. He goes on to hilariously rave with the SNL stars.
