His OWN Show: Healthy cooking and weight loss 
His swagger and sway is unmatched, his laugh infectious. When Eric stood up in the tent at an open call, he had the whole group shimmying and shaking along when he boisterously described his culinary skills and the show he would host. Once 62 pounds heavier, Eric wants to host a cooking show that has America losing weight with him. Eric would like us to tune in, cook along and shed the pounds too.
