SEQUIM – Life is challenging when you must eat moosehead soup and Carolina livermush, a kind of pig-liver pudding.
So when Mark DeCarlo landed in Sequim, he must have felt some relief.
But the truth, said the host of “Taste of America,” is that his memory is as hazy as the view of a lavender field in July.
DeCarlo, a Chicago-bred improvisational comedian, knows he came here last year.
The “Taste” producers say so, and videotaped proof will air on The Travel Channel at 8 p.m. Tuesday.
But during an interview from his home in Hollywood Hills, Calif., he couldn’t quite say when he was whisked from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport to the Olympic Peninsula.
“It was summer, I think,” said DeCarlo, 44.
“When is the Lavender Festival?”
Ah, now we’re getting somewhere.
DeCarlo touched down on a lavender farm – no, he doesn’t recall which – for one day during this town’s big bash on the second weekend of July.
