By William Weinand on 11/06/2009

Premiering November 24th on IFC, join master chef Sam Mason on "Dinner With The Band" as he invites his favorite touring bands to a Brooklyn loft for an intimate evening of cooking, conversation, and live performance. Part rocker, part chef, Mason creates "intellectual food" that stimulates the palate as well as the dialogue. "Dinner With The Band" begins airing Tuesday, 11/24 @ 11pm E/10pm C in the Automat.

This Thanksgiving Day, IFC will be running an all day marathon of films that celebrate food, family, excessive behavior and outrageous comedy. The fun starts at 7:30 am with "The Castle" and continues with "Bananas," "The Full Monty," "Raising Arizona," "Sleeper," "Super Troopers," "A Fish Called Wanda" and an extra helping of the IFC Original Series "Food Party."
