Last Supper

Or
The Bidding is ClosedJeff Smith, the popular television cook known as the Frugal Gourmet before his career was derailed by a sex scandal, died at the age of 65. The cheap bastard, whose specialty was tossing salad, started on a Seattle PBS affiliate and was launched into the national spotlight after an appearance on The Phil Donahue Show, always signing off with his catchphrase, "I bid you peace." In 1997, seven men accused him of sexually molesting them as children. He was never charged, preferring the hush money route, but his television career was finished. Not surprisingly, Smith was also a Methodist minister, because you can take the boy out of the ministry, but you can’t take the minister out of the boy.
