Columbia food truck owners sign deal for eight-episode series on Oprah Winfrey Network

Columbia’s food truck stars have snagged an eight-episode season with the Oprah Winfrey Network.

Ramone Dickerson and Corey Simmons, operators of the Capital City’s 2 Fat 2 Fly wing truck, were featured during a one-hour special last month. The show ended up as the No. 1 in its time slot on ad-supported cable for African-American women 25-54, the network said.

Originally airing as Wingmen, the name of the show will be changed to the name of the food truck for eight one-hour episodes.

The “docu-series” will follow Dickerson and Simmons as they operate their food truck business around Columbia, selling stuffed chicken wings. The series will be aired on Saturday nights starting in early 2015.

“This series will be a great addition to our Saturday primetime lineup,” Erik Logan, president of OWN, said in a statement. “The escapades of these two best friends are fun to watch and there seems to be no limit to what they might do in their quest to make their business a huge success.”

The show will document “the triumphs and challenges Ramone and Corey will encounter as they plot their path towards the American dream wing by wing,” the release says.
