The Parador hotels group, which started in 1928, says a drop in demand could leave it with accumulated losses of euro107 million ($140 million) by the end of the year. It intends to cut 644 jobs out of a workforce of 4,400. (AP Photo/Alvaro Barrientos)

Baby food and fried chicken may well be the legacy for which Tyler Florence ultimately is best known. Which seems a bit crazy given his near ubiquity on the Food Network since its earliest days on air, his years of running the celebrity chef gauntlet, his many cookbooks, product lines and appearances.
