Art Ginsburg, commonly known as Mr. Food, was a television chef and best 
selling author of cookbooks. He had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer 
in 2011 and underwent treatments, including surgery, which had caused the 
cancer to go into remission. However, it returned in October. He died at his 
home that he shared with his wife Ethel in Weston, Florida. Ginsburg was 
originally a butcher and ran his own catering business prior to work in
television. The series he founded is expected to continue with other
chefs as hosts.
