Fans flock to see local Iron Chef and get autographed copies of his new book, "Carnivore."
Michael Symon brought his new book, his mom and dad, and his inimitable laugh to a book-signing for her new book, Carnivore, at Barnes & Noble in Crocker Park on Friday night. He also brought a lot of people. Through the first hour of the book-signing, as more people came, the line went almost all the way around the second floor of the store.
