Hippy Gourmet
When I first started cooking I loved watching all of the Food Network shows. I have to admit it, RayRay’s constant repeating of the same phrases and lessons did actually help me learn a few things (and some not-to-dos).
But I soon grew tired of those highly-stylized personalities and started checking out alternative shows. Public television is really where it’s at. That’s where I found the Hippy Gourmet. Read on.
And watch this.

I caught this gem of a show while staying in baltimore last year! I was so excited to have a new show option and he is hysterical! Sadly enough it’s not on in NYC. What the f#$%?

I LOVE Hippie Gourmet-I catch him on public TV on the weekend when I watch all the best cooking shows. Public TV kicks FN’s butt!

honestly, I don’t try to hate on Food Network, but think about it - what are the best food shows on right now?
Top Chef, Anthony Bourdain, Jaques Pepin, BBQU, and apparently, Hippy Gourmet. Not a one of them is found on the food network.

We couldn’t agree more with everyone’s desire to see more of Hippy Gourmet on local PBS stations! All we can say is to e-mail, or call up your favorite PBS station and ask them directly to carry our show. In the meanwhile you can follow the links above to our website (www.HippyGourmet.com) and also to our YouTube site, www.YouTube.com/HippyGourmet where you can check out a number of our full-length shows, recipe segments and more! Peace, Love & Organics!
PS - for those with Dish network you can catch us on FSTV (FreeSpeechTV) channel 9415 starting this March!

Now this is a cooking show I could really sink my teeth into. I love that the guy has a hippie (don’t like his spelling) flair without sounding totally burnt out and corny. Nice find.
