They have a new show for Emeril - have you seen the commercials? He
travels around (there's an original concept - not) and visits places
which are known for the "signature" dish in that category. Haven't we
seen this a few times before? I wish they'd have programs that show
great pastry chefs (no recipes needed, just want to watch technique) -
or any great chefs, like they used to have on PBS in my state. You
know, actual COOKING shows.
