Food Jammers

I had so much fun watching the cooking channel last night (different from the Food Network). In particular this show food jammers. These three dudes come up with cooking experiments every show that are more like engineering projects. In the episode I watched last night, they made the world's tiniest tofu burgers cooked in a 8 foot bamboo steamer, a 10-ft long sausage, and a flying-saucer-like rotisserie chicken devise. It was amazing.

This channel even plays Julia Child episodes in addition to all my favorites, Nigella, Giada, Alton... Now you're probably not going to learn how to perfecting barbecue chicken from the food jammers, but you will become highly motivated to explore the kitchen and get creative. This article, What's cookin' on the food tube from the Chicago Tribune is exactly right: such shows may remove the fear of the unknown – the kitchen – from generations raised on prepared foods.
