Yup, I always watched Yan Can Cook, Julia Childs/Jacques Pépin or Lidia. If they wanted a fun one to marathon, Turn Up the Heat with G. Garvin would be good.

Julia taught me how to make anything tasty.
Butter and brandy, y'all. Butter and brandy.
Actually, my omelette game is on point because of her. Will watch this all day and night.

Julia Child is amazing, but I wish this was Martin Yan's "Yan Can Cook" series that was on PBS.

Holy crap my friends and I were saying they should do this exact thing like a month ago

Here, done
Julia Childs, not Paula Dean.
Julia Child was all about butter back when Paula Deen was just a racist without sponsors

I don't get it. They spend all this time outlawing non games content then they announce their own non games content..
I'd be surprised if they didn't get LethalFrag to do a show on this.

They probably wanted to keep all content on brand while they were trying to build up the company, now it makes more sense to diversify.

Isn't he a former professional chef?

The secret I've found is that if you want any cooking programming out of Food Network you have to be watching in the morning. Otherwise it is definitely competitions all the way down.

If I had a little more space and professional lighting, I would totally start a cooking channel on Twitch. I cook almost every night and I do almost everything from scratch. I'm not one who puts a ton of oil and butter in everything, either.
Can't wait for the "BON APETITE" chants.

That's the feeling I get. Twitch tried so hard to distance itself from Justin.tv during the split, now they're slowly reverting.
PETA!!!!!
Yep. Twitch viewings are great. People like to hate on twitch chat, but I love the damn thing.

I would not mind if Twitch started basically resurrecting classic History/Discovery Channel programming.
Of course twitch chat is the cherry on top.

Cutthroat Kitchen is actually lovely. Though it's mostly an excuse to get another fill of Alton Brown doing Alton Brown things.
Food Network is 70% reality competition shows, 20% guy fieri, and maybe somwhere in that last 10% is actual cooking instruction.

This is already hilarious. Everyone posting BibleThump emoticons whenever she chops onions.
Then yes.

One of the more incredible effects of the Bob Ross stream was people trying to follow along live with tablets and MS Paint or Photoshop. I have to hope something similar happens with Julia Child, it seems only natural.
Julia Child is just the hook.
Won't be long before mukbang moves to twitch

I was wondering how in the hell they got the license given PBS seems content to just sit on a vast vault of everything and let it atrophy into nothing in terms of digital content, or even physical---but the above being the same holding that has Bob Ross makes a ton of sense.
One can only hope they are priming for some more proper drinking game shows down the line like Galloping Gourmet and Justin Wilson's~...
MOST IMPORTANTLY---this is the, perhaps, last best shot we may get for all manner of shows of this type getting some sort of proper archival presence and stewardship. There is a vast wealth of cooking and food culture shows out there, I even had a thread on it way on back I think, but so much has been just unceremoniously left on the wayside like so much garbage instead of the handy cultural treasures/artifacts they are.

Better for me because I'm way more interested in cooking than painting, however Bob Ross was more than just the painting; it was about achieving zen.
I'm not sure how well Julia Child transcends cooking.
well yeah, you don't watch bob ross to be a master painter, you watch bob ross to watch bob ross doing bob ross things

She essentially laid the foundation for hundreds of chefs who didn't know about food during the golden age of TV. For many, it was the first time they had seen French techniques and cooking with some specific ingredients.
Julia Child is incredibly important to the history of TV, let alone cooking.
