So I tried looking for this but since the search engine seems to be inoperative, I wasn't able to see if this had already been posted.

 

Cooking is a big hobby of mine, I sometimes do side gigs as a catering chef or bartender, and at any given time have at least half a dozen Food Network shows on my DVR. Just tonight I caught Robert Irvine of Dinner: Impossible wearing a Sox jersey and cooking in the outfield kitchens with Ron Kittle, preparing a patio feast for a retired Chicago cop and 200 of his friends by the 7th inning stretch and using only ingredients found in the Stadium commissary.

 

While a brat with melted American cheese wrapped in a seared flour tortilla, Swedish meatballs, and Dippin' Dots tossed in margarita mix are not necessarily what I'd consider 'gourmet' or anything that could sway me from Polish and grilled onions on the 500 level, Bill Veeck, the father of modern ballpark eats is either beaming or rolling over in his grave, I can't decide which.

 

All in all, a fun show that is a diversion from a dismal season. I wondered if anyone else has seen yet. I can't imagine I'm the first or that this is even the first time it's aired.

I had not seen it until this week. I think Veeck would be beaming. Anything to add fun.

Yeah, I saw this like 3 months ago. I hate the chef on it so don't regularly tune in, but did enjoy this episode for obvious reasons. It's cool the Sox opened up the doors and let him do it at the Cell.

I caught this last night too, cool show. My wife is a chef, so the Food Network is on 24/7 at our house.

My wife's not a chef, but she's a woman, so the Food Network is on 24/7 at our house. Thank God Comcast added Food Network HD last month, because that makes viewing these programs highly entertaining.

I can't figure out how he has that gig? I'm burned out by a couple of the Food Network personalities, Emeril, Rach, but give me back to back Good Eats and I'm a happy camper.

Agreed.

Good Eats is the best cooking show ever IMO. Fun and informative.

I kind of know/am related to the executive producer of this show.

What about that guy with like 400 grills in his back yard? He's the second most awesome TV personality out there. Can't think of the name of the show, but he kind of looks like JD's brother or something and he listens to jazz. That guy rules!

No, it's the same person that you know I'm related to.

I can rarely make it through an entire Dinner: Impossible because of Irvine's whiny voiceovers. And his food usually does not seem particularly exciting, just that he prepares a whole lot of things with minimal resources in a very quick turnaround. But for obvious reasons I enjoyed this one.

 

I'm a huge Good Eats fan as I conceive things to cook just as much on technique as I do on ingredients, and as far as straight-ahead cooking shows, Barefoot Contessa and Molto Mario. Rachael Ray I find abrasive and patronizing, and Sandra Lee is horrific. Food, for me, is a creative hobby like other people draw or paint.

 

No Reservations with Anthony Bourdain on the Travel Channel and America's Test Kitchen with Christopher Kimball on PBS I also highly recommend.

I'd totally smash that but if you're talking about TV cook honeys, Nigella Lawson is where it's at:
