TV food critic jumps to radio

After 18 years hosting a food program on KVCR-TV, Allan Borgen has left television and taken his act to radio.

Borgen began hosting "Let's Dine Out" June 9 on KTIE-AM 590 in San Bernardino, a talk station that specializes in conservative commentary. Borgen's show is about restaurants, entertainment and travel destinations in the Inland region.

The one-hour call-in program is broadcast live 4-5 p.m. Saturdays. It will expand to 90 minutes later this month and eventually to two hours.

Allan Borgen talks about dining out on KTIE-AM 590 in San Bernardino.

The Mission Inn is one of the show's sponsors, and he is paid an undisclosed salary by KTIE.

"It's a local show, and I have a lot of passion for this area," Borgen said. "Anything that has to do with pampering yourself - food, wine, travel - we're going to talk about."

A highlight of the show is a 15-minute segment in which Borgen, two guests and co-host Karen Draper discuss a restaurant where the four of them ate during a previous weekday afternoon.
 
Allan Borgen is a talentless buffoon who's living off fumes from his TV show. I've met him a couple times, and if Salem wants to hitch their cart his to wagon, go right ahead. A salary??!! Wht not just make him another of the brokered dopes on KTIE. What does this show add? Besides, how many great restaurants does the IE have? If I want anything decent, I always go west of the 610.
