Art Ginsberg, known better as Mr. Food, has died. Mr. Food enticed viewers on TV for decades with his syndicated Mr. Food segments and his catchphrase, "Oohhh! It`s So Good!" Ginsberg died at his home in Weston, Florida today.

He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer more than a year ago. The cancer went into remission after treatments but returned earlier this month.

His 90 second cooking segments were syndicated to 125 local television stations around the country, including NBC North Dakota News.

Ginsberg was 81 years old.

The Mr. Food segments are taped in advance. We will continue to run them until further notice.
