Food Network coming to Carson

The owner of Locals Barbecue Co. said Thursday that the Food Network's program "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" contacted him last month and said they want to feature him on the wildly popular cable program that visits restaurants across the nation.

Ralph Swaggler said he expects the episode to be filmed in the beginning of 2009 at his south Carson City business in the Eagle Station shopping center on Highway 395.
