When the Travel Channel first contacted Richie Jr. about featuring Richie’s on “Food Paradise,” he didn’t want to do the show because it would be too cramped for the crew to film in the shop on a weekday. Instead, Richie Jr. negotiated for the crew to come at 4 a.m. on a Saturday morning. “It was a 14 or 15-hour shoot,” Richie Jr. said. “It was nuts, for like a six-minute shot. We had to do it over, do re-takes, a lot of things.” “I wanted to be a superstar, but forget that,” Richie Jr. added.
