When Sunny Hostin sat down for a seemingly innocent segment on The View, no one could have predicted how close she’d come to a life-threatening situation.
It all started during a segment featuring Debbie Matenopoulos, a former View co-host from the show’s early days in the ’90s. She was there to promote her new Greek cookbook, showcasing traditional recipes that looked as delicious as they sounded. As Matenopoulos spoke passionately about her heritage and her food, she offered the co-hosts a sampling of her culinary creations. Among the dishes were an orzo salad and spanakopita, a savory spinach-and-feta pastry.
