RaoulDuke79 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Over the past several months I've found myself watching more cooking shows/food shows than most other things.....on a side note I'd also like to give a posthumous shout out to Anthony Bourdain. I really miss that guy.....back to business. Chopped Love the Halloween pumpkin contests Guys grocery games Kids baking championship And whatever Giada is cookin....I'd eat an old tire if she prepared it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Mike Colameco Real Food is great. He hosts another great show on PBS. Americas Test Kitchen is great too. The real cooking shows are on PBS, not Food Network 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 BTW, Colameco is an animal- An avid sportsman, from 1985-1991, Colameco fought for the New York Athletic Club amateur boxing team and at various times, was the NYAC Middleweight and Light Heavyweight Boxing Champion. Prior to that, he was a paid sparring partner for boxers Chris Reid, Kevin Moley, and Donny LaLonde. In 1986, Colameco earned his Black Belt in Kyokushin Karate, and since then, he has completed five New York City Marathons. An avid open water ocean swimmer, in 2014 his New York Athletic Club 3-man relay team finished 2nd in the men's open division in the FKCC 12.5 mile relay, completing the course in 5 hours 26 minutes.[5] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwksilver Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 We watch "The Kitchen". We also watch "The Best Thing I ever Ate". Like to see new takes on recipes or new techniques. Not so much for the cooking competition shows] I've used quite a few of Giada's recipes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Is Giada cooking? I think you may be right, but I never really noticed! It was more.....never mind.... I used to be big into Chopped, but that has waned a bit. My favorite at the moment is probably Beat Bobby Flay. It’s not cooking with candy canes and cows tongue. Guy’s Grocery Games is too game show for me, personally. I don’t like anything with baking. I’m not a dessert guy. I don’t watch the kids shows as they may be cute, but they are either ignorant or they would show me up..... either way a loss for me. I like America’s Test Kitchen and actually signed up for their site where you can look up recipes, equipments reviews, etc. Cheap and easy, and I print out my favorites. I like things I can learn from, which I think is my primary goal. Oh, Ree Drummond has given me a couple recipes that have gone over very well with guests! Of course, nothing beats the folks from TBD who share awesome stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real cooking shows are on PBS, not Food Network I was half hoping to see a place in Lisbon we went last fall. Maries, or Maria’s? Husband and wife team, only two of them running the place in the embassy area. She cooks, he does everything else. You walk up and ring the doorbell to their house. Our group of 10 took up half the place. He had whole fresh fish on a giant board and brought them to the table while talking a bit about each option. That was probably the most memorable meal of our entire trip. Amazing and fresh and unique. 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...

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.
