Cooking Show: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Good Eats]]'' with [[Alton Brown]] provides a unique perspective — something along the lines of an engineer or [[Science Show|scientist's]] cooking show, as produced by the cast of ''[[Saturday Night Live]]''.

** Brown, a former television producer, became a chef and started his own cooking show specifically because he felt that most cooking shows airing at the time weren't giving their audience enough information. These shows would tell the audience what to do in a recipe, but not why they were doing it. Hence Brown's emphasis on the physics and chemistry of cooking.

* ''[[Great Chefs]]'' takes an unusual approach to this genre by visiting a large number of professional chefs (typically three per episode), in their own restaurant's kitchen, each preparing a meal of their choice with little explanation beyond what you'd find in a recipe.

* ''[[Louisiana Cookin]]''' is perhaps best remembered for Justin Wilson's humorously folksy stories, thick Cajun accent, and [[Catch Phrase]] -- "I gar-on-tee".
