Let Them Eat Cake
/
Longtime WLS (Chicago) Anchor Kathy Brock is stepping away from the anchor desk and calling it a day.
Brock isn't saying what she is going to do next, but she is very much looking forward to doing nothing. “I’m not looking for another job,” she said. “I’ve never taken more than two weeks off [from work] in my career. I graduated college on a Saturday and started work on Monday. After the birth of my second son I was back at work in nine days. So that’s the beauty of this. It’s the luxury of saying, ‘Hmmm, I have nothing going on tomorrow.’ You have to give yourself the opportunity to discover new things. I really do think there’s a second act in my future. [But] I think you have to close a door before another one opens.”
Brock says that she only wanted one thing for a going away present and she got it.
Brock's co-anchor Alan Krashesky's wife makes a mean carrot cake and Brock always wanted the recipe for it, but it was a secret.
“Alan’s wife, Colleen, besides being a smart, fantastic woman, she’s an amazing cook. And she makes this carrot cake that is second to none. And I asked for the recipe many times [over the 30 years] and Alan said she doesn’t give it out. I understand that. It’s her prized recipe. … My going-away gift today, the only thing I wanted and the only thing I got, was the recipe, beautifully written on a card. But there’s one secret [part] she told me verbally. So now I know what to do” Brock said.
And because this is TV news, you know that cake was served.
