He's mostly known as a baker and chef from the Food Network, where he not only led the show, but more recently appeared in Buddy Vs. Duff. If you are an avid Food Network fan, you'll know that the show features two baking television personalities in the form of Goldman and Buddy Valastro of TLC's Cake Boss. The two rivals compete to claim the American chef title.
