Re: Cooking Shows?
(Anonymous) 2015-07-03 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)1) Chopped - it's just so simple and stripped-down in terms of the format, when they're not doing some dumb gimmick week. It really puts the emphasis on the cooking, and the cooking really goes to some fascinating places because of the constraints they put on it. I feel like it also helps me think about food better through seeing how people's minds work, in terms of combining flavors and techniques and stuff.
Also, I love that the judges, and mostly the contestants, very obviously really, really give a shit about food and just want to see people make good stuff. Like, I love when the judges get caught up in whether someone's going to plate or not. It's so good.
2) America's Test Kitchen - I'll sometimes watch other recipe shows (Jacques Pepin is OK) but this is the main one that I like, because it's so thorough. It really goes through the underlying logic of why you're doing everything - not the science (like Alton Brown does, who I don't really watch), but the logic in cooking terms, about how each step effects the finished dish. It's also very easy to follow, and generally trustworthy in terms of results. The show is also just really cheerful and upbeat, and I really like all the cooks, and Christopher Kimball is adorable. It's good.
3) Anthony Bourdain shows (whichever one you happen to be talking about) - I just love Anthony Bourdain, mostly. I really trust his taste and judgment, and I mostly believe that he's not going to flimflam me and talk up something that sucks the way a lot of travel shows will - I'm getting something reasonably close to his actual reaction. So it's a good delivery system for food porn, especially since his shows tend to be really well-made, and have an agreeable ethos and good guests, and he's an entertaining, funny guy for the most part.
That's really it, honestly. Most other cooking and food shows are just too corny. At least the ones that I've seen.
