mdt Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 (edited) This morning as I was flipping through the channels I saw Cathal Armstrong (on Fox 5, I think) reviewing food that was delivered from PeaPod by Giant. They were doing a story about food delivery services. Now I just saw a commercial for a story on sous vide coooking with Michel Richard on News 4 at 5pm tomorrow.

JPW Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Not a chef, but I caught Terry Thiese on an old episode of "Simply Wine" yesterday afternoon while playing Hide and Go Seek with my daughter. Sesame Street for Peanut? No way. I'm starting her young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Foodie Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 It was a little embarassing, but Roberto Donna was on Iron Chef America over the summer and didn't have a great showing. I think he finished maybe 2 of his 6 dishes! But it was fun to watch TV and see a guy I've met in person on multiple occasions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he finished maybe 2 of his 6 dishes! Now Morou will have the chance to avenge his loss. Can't wait to see it. Jeff Tunks stars in an episode of Chefs A'Field, which I don't think has aired locally yet (on PBS). And David Guas is always popping up on the Today Show to show off his desserts. He's really good on TV, maybe because he's used to their harried, cook-in-60-seconds style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tastedc Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Jose Andres on "How to Cook Everything" with Mark Bittman, here's the episode: Jose Andres on How To Cook Everything with Mark Bittman Love Bittman, he's an everyman (person?) cook, he simplifies all dishes and never measures anything - sort of and Ironman for "home cook" vs. the chefs..

Spiral Stairs Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Last night, the Food Network aired "Secrets of Kitchen Stadium," which was quite DC-centric. There was an extensive piece on Roberto Donna, both his initial Iron Chef failure and his preparations for the rematch. Another piece documented the competition to determine which DC chef would appear on the show this year, including an interview with Tony Williams and charming snippets with the three competitors (Ris Lacoste; Morou Ouattara; and, uh, the chef from Tosca). Here are the future air times, in case you'd like to set your Tivo: February 02, 2006 10:00 PM ET/PT February 03, 2006 2:00 AM ET/PT February 04, 2006 7:00 PM ET/PT February 04, 2006 11:00 PM ET/PT February 05, 2006 3:00 AM ET/PT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the first time Keith competed at the OSSAS and he won 6th (out of ~50 entries) in the Wedding Cake competition. "Food Network Challenge: Designer Wedding Cake Cookoff" AIR TIMES: February 04, 2006 9:00 PM ET/PT February 05, 2006 1:00 AM ET/PT February 11, 2006 4:00 PM ET/PT February 12, 2006 5:00 PM ET/PT (For those who would like to see a still of Keith's prize-winning cake, there are links in this thread on the eG Pastry & Baking forum.)

I have made 2 of the dishes we made at the Galileo Laboratorio at home for my husband. They turned out wonderful. I have another class scheduled in March. Right now there are some recipes from Chef Carmine Marzano, of Ristorante Luigino on the NBC 4 website:(http://www.nbcolympics.com/wrc/5093081/detail.html). Chef Donna was on about 5 minutes ago...I hope to see his recipes on the NBC4 website shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monavano Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Update on Roberto Donna's tv schedule: A Quick Note from Italy Roberto is in Torino and the town is buzzing with Olympic excitement. There have been some changes with the televised appearances. The market tour probably will not happen due to some difficulties with security and cameras in the market. Roberto will be on the Today Show on Tuesday, February 14th showing some of the traditional cuisine of Torino. He is also filming segments for some other NBC shows and affiliates, but air dates are not known at this time. Keep an eye on our website for more information.

DanCole42 Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Good show tonight. Does anyone else think that Jeffrey Steingarten is an ass?That's his appeal, and why he's always invited back to judge. Nice job on the perfect score in originality, but I can see why he blew the rest of the categories. The point of the theme ingredient is that it's supposed to be the foundation flavor of the dishes - not an afterthought side-item. It seemed to me like Morou was just going to some of his go-to dishes and substituting/adding peas. NOT the spirit of the competition, Mr. Morou.

ol_ironstomach Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 There is really only so much you can do with peas. You obviously haven't seen very many episodes of Iron Chef. That poor, poor PacoJet machine. And I don't think that there's any part of any plant or animal that Michiba wouldn't have used. Still, at some level I agree with you, and this remains one of my main gripes of the US version - that the theme ingredients are often hopelessly unremarkable.

zoramargolis Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 I was searching around on t.v. this morning for something to take my mind off my misery while on the elliptical trainer, and came across an old episode of Julia Child's Master Chefs series. There was our very own Roberto Donna looking very young and fit, with an almost full head of hair, teaching the slightly doddering Julia how to make pizza. I didn't catch the date at the end of the show, but it had to have been twenty years ago. Except for his recommending the use of mass-produced, domestic mozzarella, his demonstration of hand-working pizza dough and baking it in a home oven with a stone was well-done.

There are several "lesson" segments available on making pizza and pasta dishes with Chef Donna. Julia really did have an interesting variety of chef-guests (click "Meet the Chefs" along left side of screen). It was probably an invitation nobody could refuse.

monavano Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Bobby Flay's Throw Down is ok from the two epi's I've seen. But, the thing is he goes in completely prepared with tested recipes, while the opponent gets caught completely off guard as they are cooking under a ruse of some sort. It's an uneven playing field to me, although he lost a steak challenge to a chef with Army issued ingredients for the sauce and a lesser cut of meat. Kewl.

Keep an eye out for the pickled pig's foot episode -- it's pretty funny. It was a packed house in the Baird Auditorium with the highlight being the audience Q&A to wrap up the discussion which was followed, of course, by a book signing. Should be a fun show to watch.

gizydorczyk Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 As I was scanning my viewing options last night, spent a few minutes watching some bbq cook-off on the Versus network. Did not look as anything that was interesting, especially when the first judge was "Chocolate Thunder" from the Planet Lovetron, Darryl Dawkins. The final judge did peak my interst though, it was none other than Michel Richard. As I only saw a few minutes, could not tell the quality of the saw or the cooking, but Chef Richard can throw a mean lobster tail into the audience.
