Tue Feb 27 19:01:42 -0800 2007 25999 Herm 1 2339384 Colameco has put LIFE back into WOR food talk... Wed Feb 28 16:35:21 -0800 2007 2335971 12293 gudeatz 1 2339487 I love his cooking show on PBS, too. its terrific. So down to earth! Him and Nick Stellino rock my instructional television world. Wed Feb 28 17:12:38 -0800 2007 2335971 22627 MaspethMaven 1 2340570 I do like his radio show and try to catch it as often as possible. It's been a while since I heard a food show host say "I don't know" and that in itself is refreshing. I especially enjoy the wide variety of topics he covers. When is his PBS show on? I'm in Jersey so can watch channel 13 or 21. Thu Mar 01 04:55:11 -0800 2007 2335971 57768 ambrose 1 2340593 It's on at 6PM on Sunday on chanel 13. It is listed in guides as 'Food Show'. Thu Mar 01 05:15:07 -0800 2007 2335971 25999 Herm 1 2340653 I like the radio show too. WOR almost lost me when Arthur Schwartz left the food show but Colameco is even (sorry Arthur) better since Schwartz had a tendency to be whiny and cranky. Thu Mar 01 05:52:32 -0800 2007 2335971 57253 lucyis 1 2340799 Herm, thank you for the PBS info. I agree with the comment about Arthur Schwartz. I was also annoyed by Arthur's habit of interrupting guests while they were explaining something. What's he doing now? Thu Mar 01 06:44:45 -0800 2007 2335971 57768 ambrose 1 2341939 Oy, I find him unbearable. I like the show, it has good content but there is something about him I can't quite put my finger on that I dislike. Thu Mar 01 11:20:26 -0800 2007 2335971 12099 sivyaleah 1 2341960 I live outside the metro NY area, but I listen to Colameco on podcasts. Like his style and humanity. Nice guy. Also like the reason he left the restaurant biz... Very knowledgeable. Thu Mar 01 11:25:01 -0800 2007 2335971 69807 jgsmith1 2 2461428 Why was that (that he left the restaurant business)? I enjoy his PBS show. Sun Apr 08 13:17:01 -0700 2007 2341960 11925 MisterBill2 1 2342230 I heard the show for the first time today, streamed from the WOR site. I'm hooked. Thanks for bringing it up. Thu Mar 01 12:17:56 -0800 2007 2335971 26997 PapaHarley 2 2342592 Maybe I should try listening over the radio instead since I enjoy the content, but not looking at him? Thu Mar 01 13:27:12 -0800 2007 2342230 12099 sivyaleah 1 2342669 He is one of us a true CH . Love his show. Sivaleah Mike was a boxer or a kick boxer . I forget . Thu Mar 01 13:41:02 -0800 2007 2335971 11512 FAL 1 2352237 Yeah, I wish he'd share the spotlight with his subjects a little more in his TV show. He's a little self-absorbed and not quite as endlessly endearing as he thinks. Sun Mar 04 20:02:37 -0800 2007 2335971 18128 markp 2 2477642 lol, that's so true. he's winging it on the radio every day and sometimes it gets old. i agree he's much better than rocco or tyler florence (who were basically unlistenable) but he's no Arthur, who could give you great recommendations of places all over and of all types. Colameco relies on his friends' restaurnats a lot and places he's taped on his show (which, again, are often his friends places). he seems to be fascinated with bloggers like Restaurnat Girl and Josh Ozersky and gives them way too much credit for knowing what goes on. ferreting out news bits and trolling trends is not the same as having solid food and cooking knowledge. i think the Food Talk audience wants more of the latter and less of the former but perhaps the station is pushing for younger audience? at any rate, i can find bloggers on their blogs, i'm listening to find other voices - ones that don't have another outlet Fri Apr 13 09:10:34 -0700 2007 2352237 64416 nuxvomica 1 2463738 I also miss Arthur. But Colameco is sooooo much better than those who preceded him. I'm back listening to Food Talk now, even though reception on my car radio is spotty here in southeastern PA. BTW, where IS Arthur these days? Mon Apr 09 11:30:33 -0700 2007 2335971 49600 CindyJ 2 2464926 Arthur is conducting cooking classes in Italy and you can hear all about it (in his own inimitable style) if you look at www.foodmaven.com he has a newsletter that I subscribe to so that I can still "hear" his beloved nasal New York voice in my head. No body whines quite like Arthur! Mon Apr 09 16:30:39 -0700 2007 2463738 57253 lucyis 1 2773090 I've been enjoying Colameco's show for years, but lately, I am more and more turned off by his need to put his schnozz directly ON food when he smells it...although I have gotten good ideas from him, and kind of like his down to earth style, the thoughts that go through my mind when his honker sets down on a beautiful piece of cheese, or bread, or whatever, is quite unappetizing.
