Vermont Brownie Company on Food Network

A Vermont business is getting more than its 15 minutes of fame. The Vermont Brownie Company was featured in Tuesday night's episode of Throwdown with Bobby Flay on the Food Network.

Vermont Brownie Company co-owners Shawna Lidsky and Katherine Hayward gathered their close friends and family around several TVs to watch the episode premiere. For them it was a surreal experience.

It started in August when Lidsky took a call from a Food Network producer informing them the network was interested in the company.

Lidsky and Hayward had to send a demo-tape to the network. They included video of the kitchen where they bake the brownies, video from a local farm, and a few shots of Hayward's newborn baby because they thought the cuteness might help. Apparently it worked because the network called back and set up a time to do a video shoot with the women.
