I was glad to see Alton Brown’s Good Eats is back. It was certainly the best long-running food science program ever. I would like to see Iron Chef America back too, but it seems to be in a perpetual state of limbo.

I like most of Ramsay’s shows. I like cooking competition shows, in general, so I like Hell’s Kitchen and Master Chef. I won’t watch Master Chef Jr. because I can’t stand cute kids with hats.

I found a Ramsay mini-series on Amazon Prime that was pretty good: Gordon Behind Bars, where he goes to a British prison to try to set up a business where prisoners cook, and their products are packaged and sold in the open market. It was only four episodes, but I found it quite interesting.

I’ve never tried risotto either. It sounds like it requires a lot of time and attention, so I’d try it only if someone else cooked it. My local college dorm cafeteria, where I eat occasionally has it on the menu every so often, but I haven’t been there on one of those days yet. They have surprisingly good food for a cafeteria, though, and I get all I can eat for $6.75, with a humongous menu to choose from.
