Rejected Rick Bayless theatrical productions

So Rick Bayless is starring in a theater production. The Lookingglass Theatre announced  Tuesday that the Frontera Grill/Topolobampo chef will be the star of "Rick Bayless in Cascabel," a circus show set in a Mexican boarding house in the 1940s. Bayless, according to our colleague Chris Jones, will "play a chef who tries to seduce a woman with no appetite by filling her heart with food." Dinner will be included with the ticket, which will cost upward of $205.
