>Best /ck/ related TV shows?

I believe you mean films, and the only correct answer is Tampopo.

There are a handful of other decent /ck/ related movies out there, but Tampopo tops them all.

If you are specifically looking for TV shows then you need to be more specific. If you are looking for quality /ck/ entertainment then you need to look at film. If you are looking for instructional shows (even entertaining ones), you are best looking online (Good Eats is always a good place to begin). If you are looking for shit entertainment reality shows then you'd do better asking /tv/.

>protip: /tv/ has horrible taste

>>4843066
Fucking this.

>why does cooking it this way taste good?
>because reasons and science make it flavorful

Good Eats for learning. Restaurant Impossible for mindless entertainment.

I've always quite enjoyed No Reservations.

Unfortunately, it's really focused on discovering food culture, not really aimed at how to make food yourselves. They should have more shows aimed at home cooking, without the competitive element they all seem to have nowadays. Although Ready, Steady, Cook has some decent ideas for home cooked meals, sometimes.

Vad blir det för mat? With Per Moberg, the best chef in the world! <3

>>4843910
i duno why, but these videos piss me off

>>4843941
Du inser att han heter MORBERG, och inte Moberg, right?

Of course, the best is of course the great food truck race!

Cutthroat kitchen.

>>4843917
No Reservations for sure, I go on a binge watching it on youtube. It is definitely not a 'cooking' show more a food culture show. Ready, Steady, Cook annoys me, haha

Chopped

>Ready, Steady, Cook annoys me, haha

I know what you mean, you cant keep track of a recipe because they're always switching between contestants and that dickhead host keeps sticking his awkward nose in, I'm not sure who this show is made to appeal to.

Lel, when I first moved out and lived on my own, I would watch that Rachel Ray 30 min meals show. That's how I got into cooking. If not for that show, I'd probably be eating nothing but fast food, easy mac, cup noodles, and salami sandwiches.

Th-thanks Rachael Ray...

>>4843066
Oh, Alton Brown! Bill Nye of Food! I would marry you, but you're already married.

I like watching Chopped, but only because it's fun to try to guess who the winner will be based on their opening stories and who fucks up the first 5 minutes of the first round.

no reservations...bourdain rules

>>4846166
I always get sucked into those marathons.
>I'll just wait till this episode is over
>Next episode starts
>I'll just wait till this episode is over
and so on.

Why did I come back to /ck/?
Its full of feels. tfw dont have a gf to watch No Reservations with anymore.
the most shocking one was Tony eating egg cooked on the fucking ground. I think the fire was fueled by actual shit, too. I actually felt bad for him that episode.

also, Iron Chef

>>4846299
*moves around making swishing noises*
I love Iron Chef!

>>4846310
Its seriously fucking awesome. Its the only cooking show I get pumped about. The grandma judge is my favorite, she says everything is too salty and keeps it real.

SQUEEZE ON. yes....

Im gonna watch it later now

>>4843059
Food related shows are surprisingly addictive.

For more documentary type shows...
>DDD (inb4 "ur gay")
>Eat Street
>Chopped
>Top Chef Canada
>You Gotta Eat Here
>Recipe to Riches
>Man vs Food

For more instructional shows...
>Good Eats
>Chef Michaels Kitchen
>Chef at Home
>Gordon Ramsays Ultimate Home Cooking
>Chucks Day Off

FYI some of these shows only air on Food Network Canada.

>>4846135
I do this all the time

>>4843059
Keith Floyd. Anything involving Keith Floyd is just marvellous. God, I love Keith Floyd.

>>4846166
That guy pisses me off a bit because he seems more like a foodie than an actual chef and he seems a bit arrogant and pseudo intellectual. I will hand it to him for eating all that funky shit that he encounters.

I think a hands on instructional show would do wonders for him and show people he isnt just some burnout windbag.

>>4846319
>The grandma judge is my favorite, she says everything is too salty
LOOOOL!!!

And dont forget the random politician who never smiles or the random actress/singer who oohhhhsss and aahhhhsss at everything.

Great British bake-off because it's a less pretentious masterchef.

Hairy Bikers because unlike most cooking shows, I'd eat 3/4 of what they make. Fuck most cooking shows obsession with fish (and strong fish at that).

Good eats
Triple D
No reservations
Best thing I ever ate
Man, fire, food
Bizarre foods
Original Iron Chef

That's about it for good cable food shows. Then there's pretty much everything on public tv that's leagues ahead of everything else on cable, like America's Test Kitchen etc.

>>4846362
Farewell my gastronaughts

There is only one answer.

Iron Chef.

So what's a good learning show? Other than Good Eats of course.

>anything other than Great British Bake Off

Breaking Bad. Cooking meth is awesome.

jamieshomecookingskills com by jamie oliver is an excellent site for beginners. Everything you will ever need from shopping to knife skills to nutrition and recipes.

Yeah, well, No Reservations is more of a foodie show than a cooking show in the first place. Bourdain's entire television career other than guest spots as a judge on competitive cooking shows is way more focused on being a foodie than being a (now retired,) chef.
If you want his opinions on cooking or recipes you're gonna have to check out his writing.

Also he's reasonably self-aware of the fact that he became the thing he railed against a decade ago.

>>4843942
I know why!

It is a blatant waste of food resources that could have gone better serving a more appreciative party and you hate the wanton waste of American consumerism

Mind of a Chef on PBS/netflix is new and awesome.

It's pretty much just Lucky Peach, the TV show.

>>4847153
can confirm. David chang looks like a mouthbreather, but the show has some really cool stuff.

>>4847192
also, momofuku doesnt really mean lucky peach. He's just bullshiting. Momofuku was the first name of the man who invented instant ramen.

>>4847270

>He's just bullshiting. Momofuku was the first name of the man who invented instant ramen.

I can assure you that Chang was well aware of that.

>>4847305
Exactly, but he keeps telling everyone it means "lucky peach" in japanese. Guess he just wanted a logo, so he bullshitted up a peach.

>>4847366

I don't speak moon runes, but I was under the impression that "momo fuku" could be roughly translated as "lucky peach". Is that wrong, or just a stretch?

Chuuka Ichiban! (aka Cooking Master Boy)

ctrl + f > "ya"
zero results

really /ck/?

>>4847405
means "good luck"

>>4847366
depends how its written
桃福
is litterally 'peach' 'good fortune' 「momofuku」

股拭く or you could wright it like that, while still pronounced momofuku, its read as crotch rubbing.

My nigga!

>>4847153
"Mind of a Chef" Is for sure the most interesting

>no one mentions Top Chef

Cook's Country

>>4846357
Gordon Ramsays Ultimate Home cooking was good! One of the few shows I actually used the tips and recipes from.

I liked Jamie Oliver 30 minutes too.

I also liked the masterchef Australia series, the masterclasses were always fun to watch,

>>4846403
I loveee those shows!

I like no reservations, it's half-ck related. Bizarre foods, chopped, good eats, iron chef (both), and america's test kitchen are good too.

>>4846362
>Keith Floyd
His recipe books are also good if you can find them, mainstays of our kitchen.

>>4849221
Sounds like what David Chang would've wanted in a name

Delicious Iceland! Its great for a laugh.
