Diary of a Foodie’s podcast now features season two
Ok, so we’re pretty much over the term foodie by now. But whether you own that designation or cringe when you hear it, if you have a passion for good food, you should be watching Gourmet’s Diary of a Foodie.
The series, produced by Gourmet magazine with WGBH, is now in its third season on public television. Each episode takes viewers on a world tour, to meet chefs, farmers, and aficionados who celebrate quality food from farm to table. In reality, it’s one of the only shows in the vanguard of the organic, locavore movement. So if you want to get all ethereal for a second, Foodie continues a genre pioneered by public television and Julia Child: the friendly, accessible, non-preachy education of American eaters.
Lest we forget why we’re talking about it, Diary of a Foodie just recently released it’s entire second season for download on iTunes. That means you can now watch any episode from the first two seasons on-demand , and a bunch of short clips (WGBH and Conde Nast think we love short clips; we did in 2005).
Some of our season two favorites:
- Bovine Rhapsody, which reminds us not only how good grass-fed beef can be, and how much kinder it is to cows, but also that Rebekah Grace chocolate milk from Russellville, KY is amazing.
- The Inventors, which visits the kitchen of Nathan Myhrvold, and it looks nothing like our kitchen.
- Anatomy of a Meal: Paul Bartolotta (need we say more?)
That’s just the tip of the iceberg. Gourmet’s Diary of a Foodie is arguably the best and most informative food series aired on public television, and it’s one of the only food series available on-demand, on commercial or public media.
