Sat Oct 21 22:32:32 -0700 2006 1963136 20603 akp 2 1972793 I have not seen Gourmet's show on PBS yet. What's it like? Is it pretentious? Informative? Preachy? Chowish? Wed Oct 25 22:46:17 -0700 2006 1963171 13350 glutton 3 1973707 I've only watched 2 episodes so far: Jose Andres and the show on Italy. I like the show but don't LOVE it, yet. The Jose Andres episode followed him around his "creative" kitchen and then went off on relavent tangents to feature Harold McGee and then a specialty olive oil shop in Barcelona. The Italy episode focused on how travelers can dine with natives instead of opting for restaurants. It is not pretentious at all. How pretentious can a show be when Ruth Reichl is touting PB, Mayo and Olive sandwiches, and caramel corn. The PB sandwich sounds very intriguing... I enjoy that she does not take herself and food too seriously, but has fun with it. To me, the show is about learning about how others engage with and enjoy food. Not preachy.

Occasionally featuring food stories is Modern Marvels (History Channel). I did a writeup on my blog about these shows: http://professorsalt.com/2006/09/19/history-channel-kicks-food-networks-ass/ Sun Oct 22 05:37:47 -0700 2006 1963136 10023 Professor Salt 1 1963745 America's Test Kitchen Top Chef Sun Oct 22 06:22:41 -0700 2006 1963136 12289 janedoe67 1 1964026 Top Chef Nigella Feasts Sun Oct 22 16:07:02 -0700 2006 1963136 13218 KitchenAid 1 1964061 No Reservations Top Chef Sun Oct 22 16:30:34 -0700 2006 1963136 10274 Debbie W 1 1973128 Top Chef Daisy Cooks Americas Test Kitchen Lidia's Family Table Everyday Food And there's some Scandanavian cooking show that I catch every so often that I am beginning to like.

Fri Oct 27 20:33:01 -0700 2006 1963136 24546 bitsubeats 1 1978075 Anyone been watching Masterchef on BBCA? I caught the second half of one last night, looked interesting. I think it may have been an old one, looks like they had celbrity masterchef this season. Fri Oct 27 20:42:12 -0700 2006 1963136 11634 saeyedoc 2 1981079 Sick in bed with the flu--- I caught 2 episodes of Masterchef this morning. A stark contrast to Top Chef... no infighting among the contestants, most of whom display average cooking abilities at best. Not a whole lot of suspense here; you don't much care who wins.
