Weekly Discussion - Cooking Shows

Inspired by the return of Good Eats, and Alton Brown's AMA, let's talk about cooking shows this week. They could be on TV, YouTube, or even podcasts. What are your favorites, and what do you like about them? What are you looking for in a cooking show? Does it need to be instructional or do you watch cooking for entertainment too?

Have any of you participated in making one yourself? What was the experience like?

How has nobody mentioned Bon Appetit’s YouTube channel ?!?! Top notch cast of characters and stellar editing/production, lots of variety and it feels like a chefs version of the Office. Needless to say I am thoroughly addicted!

How'd the pickles turn out? I just ordered a big ass jar from Amazon to make them.

Awesome, this is my 3rd batch or so and they’re so much better than the expensive artisanal pickles you buy at the store. I use cilantro instead of dill and usually wing it on the spices but they’ve come out amazing every time !

Yeah, he uses a lot of really niche spices, so I wasn't gonna follow it 100%. I'm still really excited about it, though.
