Appearing on July 13 at 5 p.m., Warren Brown, is a success story of a health care lawyer turned baker. After several years of professional work in the health care industry as a scholar, educator and lawyer, Brown found in 2000 that his true calling was as a baker. Now Brown's passion and delicious made-from-scratch sweets are enjoyed at his restaurant Love Cafe and bakery CakeLove, and on his Food Network TV show "Sugar Rush."
