Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
Programs on Food Network and Bravo and such have become a kind of obsession with some folks. But as current hot shows lose their sizzle and new stars emerge, will we remember Throwdown, Top Chef and the like?
Certain shows remain in our thoughts, however, popping to mind at odd moments. Others influenced generations either to cook or appreciate good food. And there were those that, through their week to week travels, opened our minds. To create this list, we had to dispense with some favorites. You'll find no Yan, no Madeleine Kamman (sorry).
So here is our list of the 10 best ever cooking shows.
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
