mead107 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Maybe someone could start your 3 favorite foods thread. 1- breakfast eggs 2- lunch roast beef sandwich 3- dinner scallops dinner could be several things. Never make scallops at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A crock pot is her best friend in the kitchen. She can follow a recipe she finds in the internet and make a half-way decent dinner. I can go to the grocery store with nothing in mind, pick out my ingredients as I go along, and make something amazing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Food Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives Burgers, Brews and 'Que Carnival Eats There are my favorites along with Best Thing I ever Ate. There are some really great ones on Netflix. Recently binged Somebody Feed Phil. Chef’s Table, Street Food, The Chef Show, and Ugly Delicious are all really good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The future DIL is a vegetarian so we are always looking for new options. I’m sure it’s better for us and not just a concession to her. One more thing to like about her! It’s not a TV show, but I signed up for MasterClass after I saw Thomas Keller was on there. They have a lot of different chefs (and comedians, authors, directors, etc if you are not familiar with MasterClass). I’ve enjoyed it. I also signed up for America's Test Kitchen which I enjoy. That’s not just cooking but also equipment and product reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of toaster ovens, what ever happened to Bagel Bites? I’d cook them till crunchy, then put some Texas Pete on there and I had something to eat without effort. Just can’t find them any more..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T&C Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Good thread idea Duke. I like more of the old school types of shows, the newer ones are too chatty for my taste. One of my favorites is Jacques Pepin, with or without Julia Child. Was just on PBS an hour ago. Paul Prudhomme had a good show but haven't been able to find it in awhile. Another favorite is The Two Fat Ladies, different twist to a cooking show. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinner at my house as I was growing up was something of a source of irritation to my mother. My father hauled steel, was home nightly but you never knew when. We youngsters generally ate around five in the afternoon. Coupled with the picky eaters we were often requiring a second meal, and she often groused, “What am I running here, a restaurant?!” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter what you believe, do or think, the human race needs to do these two things. That's why I liked Bourdain. No matter the audience or crowd he could always relate.

There is a website you can join to get access to all their recipes and equipment reviews. Anytime access and you can search by show or food group such as seafood, poultry, etc. You can watch the show or just get the recipes. I print my favorites and keep them in a binder.
