Here is the statement from his website:

We are deeply saddened to announce founder of Mr. Food, Art Ginsburg, passed away today.

Art's commitment to anyone-can-do recipes and passion for helping others made him well-loved among his peers and among television viewers and website visitors. He was one of the first television celebrity chefs and paved a road for many who came after him.

His greatest love was for his wife, Ethel, and his family. Our hearts go out to them and to all who were touched by his daily visit into your homes via the television.

Those wishing to pay their respects and in lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in his honor to B'nai Aviv Congregation, Weston, FL, or the Variety Club of Buffalo, The Children's Charity of Buffalo & Western New York.
