My PBS station is running a new show, which has Mario Batali, Mark
Bittman, Gwyneth Paltrow, and some Spanish actress. They travel around
Spain, eating and (sometimes cooking). It's vaguely surreal.

It looked like they faked the cooking of migas on the portable gas
cooker. And it is quite appalling that these folks appear to be true
nitwits. The young Spanish woman is the least appalling, btw.

I looked for the show and caught some of it one day. Mario and
some woman were irritating some man by insisting he translate
Italian words. It was annoying enough that I haven't looked for
the show again.

Mario's been talking about this series for a while. He went to high
school in Spain.

I thought it was headed for the Travel Channel, though.

Maybe. It's on before noon on Saturday, so that's . . . problematic. I
also notice that they've changed America's Test Kitchen into Cook's
Country Kitchen. Same basic show with a different set.

They have both shows. I get both magazines, too.

They finished showing all the 2008 episodes of ATK some time back. Any
you see now are repeats. I don't know what the future plans are.

I see you can pre-order the 2009 TV companion cookbook,
for what it's worth.

Sounds like new ones on the way then. CCK seems to be additional
episodes that our local PBS station decided to run in place of reruns.

I missed most of the 2008 season, I have a heck of a time
pinning down when the show is on. Two PBS stations, and I
can't find the show reliably on either one.
