"Cookin' in Brooklyn" is on a channel I can never remember the name of.  Discovery Home Shopping?  Indian Lifetime 2?  It's a super low-budget affair hosted by "Knowing Me, Knowing You with" Alan Harding.  He's a restauranteur with about a dozen joints in Brooklyn, one of which I eat at regularly.  It's a really great place that does simple, right-on stuff.  His show, though . . . I dunno.  Check out this chili recipe.  Seriously.  The best part of this show is all the acting.  When he "interacts" with local Brooklyn citizens, they all seem to be a blink away from beating the shit out of him.  Actually, even the people portraying his friends look like they want to pummel him senseless. A-Haa!
