Wants to outlaw technological innovation.
I feel you could just watch the food network.

I don't think Twitch can call itself a gaming stream site anymore
It's just a mishmash of everything

However Bob Ross was nice
dont shut off the oven before its done like your Street Fighter V matches
Theres also a ton of vice food content on YouTube
I had some "artisan" hot pockets before. It's a real thing, that's really cold in the middle

I assume Twitch is actually going to show actual cooking shows and not just progressively shittier competition shows like Food Network.

Aw, yes. I think I'll enjoy this even more than the Bob Ross marathon. Looking forward to seeing what twitch chat will come up with.
I have never ragequitted in any multiplayer match!!
Survival Hell mode, now that's a different story...
Would you happen to know if there are also artisinal cup noodles?
Which is great, as long as it retains its identity it's really nice that they are not incredibly strict about what to stream so we can enjoy stuff like Bob Ross, tech shows and why not even food channels.
The Cooking Channel is their actual cooking network but its starting to get more fluff

I don't watch much Cooking Channel, since Comcast doesn't provide an HD version where I live for some reason, but when I had Uverse I felt it had already started the channel drift where it was just slowing turning into the same (non-cooking) programs as the Food Network.

Public television is still the home of the best cooking shows.
This is good, though. The presentation for Julia's show takes things down to a very basic level so that beginners can learn some good technique. All of the episodes with Jacques Pepin are fantastic.

Funny how twitch was an offshoot of JTV, a general streaming site, and then got so big it started embracing non-gaming stuff. Pretty soon we'll have a "twitch gaming" offshoot and the cycle will repeat.
Incidentally, the only twitch streamer I've ever subscribed to is an old man who sits around improvising tunes on the piano. But at least in his case you get a lot of game music.

I preferred her later shows, especially the ones with Jacques Pepin.
Her omelet technique is god-tier though.

Feels like half the time I tune into the food network the show is barely about cooking and a reality show about something semi food related.

Well.... DansGaming and LethalFrag will be quite happy about this! Those two love cooking.

PBS is still great.
I find that the dedicated networks are chasing the ratings and dedicated cooking instructions suffers.

Pick up Good Eats while you're at it.

That would be amazing given the Twitch audience. But I can't see since The Food Network owns it.
It would probably be too expensive for Twitch.

There's so few actual cooking shows on the food network now. It's all that competition bullshit

Just you wait until the Food Network makes a meme cooking show. Twitch chat will never be needed again.
I'd die for a Twitch Good Eats marathon.

one night i was watching julia child and broke into a laughing fit. i actually used to watch her when i remembered it was on.
Yeah that was amazing and I think that the degree to which people seemed to embrace the content and made the merging memes part of the collective twitch language did a lot to convince twitch that further marathon streams would be worth whatever they needed to invest to get the content.
Of course I also expect whole bunches of sexism and stupidity during this marathon similarly to the way whenever a darker skinned character appeared in the pokemon anniversary marathon twitch chat would start spamming offensive things.
As for an actual cooking channel available 24/7 I might make use of it if it's not all reality tv. That said some sort of "twitch tries cooking" show where famous streamers have to learn to cook would be interesting. There used to be " cooking with the pros" a starcraft 2 thing for a while back in the day and god damn but the pro gamers were legit struggling to make even the simplest meals because they were just so used to others cooking for them/ eating frozen meals or ordering takeout. actual education could happen with stuff like that.

It's because those get the ratings.
I remember when the Food Network was all cooking shows and all pro chefs hosted ones.
The Food Network went through several changes.
Originally, it had tons of PBS style shows. Then it got chefs--Emeril, Mario Batali, Ming Tsai.
The next wave was prompted by Rachael Ray, Sandra Lee, Giada, Paula Deen and Barefoot Contessa. So it went from mostly male pro chefs, to female home cooks. From fancier food to 30 minute meals.
The recent wave has been influenced by competition shows, beginning with Iron Chef America/Chopped and Americana road trip shows hosted by Guy Fieri.

I like this idea. I'll leave the food network on as background noise sometimes, this could be a neat replacement if/when I drop cable.
they basically have. It was just a brand transfer really.
Time to relaunch my live cooking show, Cooking With Fyre.

I can already predict we're going to see a "THANKS POLAROID" meme based on the introduction of every episode. And a lot of BibleThump, "Ruined" and "Saved" chants.
The Food Network isn't really about food anymore. It's more personality based competition and video magazine shows at this point.
PBS is a much better Food Network overall.

The Bob Ross thing was fine, but why can't you start of with actual live cooking? Being it's a live streaming website?
You get attention to the launch with a headliner event so that people stick around and watch the actual live channels afterwards.
It's also the same rights holders (Janson Media) as Bob Ross, so it looks like they enjoyed the success of Bob Ross on Twitch and are now bringing the other shows they own over to Creative.
