ABC's new food-related talk show, The Chew, premiered on Monday, September 26th. The cleverly named show is supposed to be sort of like a foodie The View, as I understand it. It's hosted by Mario Batali, Michael Symon, Carla Hall, Clinton Kelly and Daphne Oz.
Have you seen it? It's on during the day, so I haven't caught it. I like the concept, though; it's definitely something I would consider watching, even though I'm not really that into food shows. The website has some good video recipes, as well as a recipe library. The Chew's website also offers coupons, tips and tricks and an Ultimate Food Lovers Sweepstakes. Worth a look, I think!
I went home sick on Monday and only saw a part of it, but it was kind of weird. I caught part where Mario was making pizzas on the golf course and the attempts at humor seemed really force and awkward. And the remote feed had a delay that was just a little too noticeable. The concept is something I want to like though. But since I am almost always at work though, I probably won't ever watch. I'll have to check out their website though.

It's seems to be five very rushed episodes of Emeril Live smooshed into one show, complete with audience tasters, and poor Clinton Kelly is tasked with trying to keep everyone on track. Michael Symon and Mario Batali are overly self congratulatory, with references to their having the most expensive sous chef possible, and lots of "If you wouldn't mind zesting this, Chef" and "No, thank YOU, Chef" flying around. It is ... not so good. Maybe they will develop better flow as they settle in?

I agree it feels weird and rushed and almost like an infomercial with lots of audience applause
