The Cooking Channel

Move over and Thank You! TV Food Network,
There's a NEW food channel in town!
Emeril just told me about the new
tv food channel they are starting.
Called the Cooking Channel,
it is lining up low-key programs
targeted at a hipper crowd interested
in the grass roots of food culture.
One new program on the Cooking Channel
Features three guys from Canada who
build taco vending machines and other
weird contraptions for a show
called “Food Jammers”.
The question is whether a show
about three guys who are happy to be
hosers in a very Canadian
way will work in America.

In another show, “Unique Eats,”
taped earlier this month at Bark,
a boutique hot-dog shop in Park Slope,
Brooklyn, the cameras lavished attention
on baked heirloom beans and franks
topped with Columbia County sauerkraut.

The new channel, which announced its
opening lineup at a presentation for
advertisers in Manhattan on Tuesday morning
and which will replace the Fine Living Network,
is even considering producing documentary-style
programming on topics like bulimia and obesity.

.
A great concept if they can pull it off.
Shows about food with a Canadian twist.
Check it out when it arrives on your tv.
