This Sunday, November 18, the CBS News Sunday Morning will hold their annual food broadcast, anchored by Charles Osgood. It will be live and you can catch it locally on Channel 4 from 9:00–10:30am.
I do enjoy watching interesting food/wine programs on TV. I have never seen this particular program before but received a press release about it, and I was intrigued by the content. I think the show will have some interesting segments so I will be checking it out.
Here is a list of some of those segments:
Someone's in the Kitchen: Cooking schools are all the rage these days. Rita Braver visits the French Culinary Institute in New York City, where enrollment has doubled in five years. Many students, lured by the glamour of becoming a celebrity chef, come face-to-face with the reality of working 12 hour days, five days a week for $30,000 a year.
Hot Spots: So, does George Clooney always get the best table? It turns out that -- from Michael’s and The Four Seasons in New York to Spago in Los Angeles -- there’s a pecking order, even among “A” list eateries. Correspondent Tracy Smith finds out how to get the best table.
Take Five: Correspondent Seth Doane visits the set of the upcoming movie “Ghost Town” starring, among others, actor Greg Kinnear, to find out just what goes into creating the perfect meal break on the set of a Hollywood film. It's a safe guess that it's not exactly like the way the rest of us grab lunch.
The Spice of Life: Martha Teichner takes a look at the spices we’ll be using this holiday season and uncovers a rich history. From ancient Roman recipes to Columbus’ journey to America in search of pepper, spices have fueled global exploration and world trade.
How Sweet It Is: Did you know that the artificial sweetener saccharine was discovered by accident? Americans have long been on a quest to satisfy their sweet tooth without expanding their waistlines, but are these sweet promises a myth? Correspondent Joie Chen goes in search of answers to that age-old question – can we have our cake and eat it, too?
Fast Food: For thousands of years, fasting has been a ritual part of many religions and cultures. But as Serena Altschul discovers, these days fasting is also big business. At the southern California spa she visits, you can pay up to four thousand dollars a week to eat nothing – a lot of dough when there’s no bread involved.
Cornucopia: It's the season when corn commonly adorns many festive decorations. But corn plays a much larger role in our everyday lives. From high fructose corn syrup to animal feed, corn is a dominating, and sometimes unhealthy, ingredient in many of the foods we eat. San Francisco-based Correspondent John Blackstone has the story.
A Frank Discussion: Bill Geist enrolls in Milwaukee’s Hot Dog University – yes, it is real. Along with his fellow students, Bill learns the tricks of the trade and gets hands-on, behind-the-cart field training. Does Bill have the dogged determination needed to make it in the world of fast food?
In addition, Sunday Morning's Russ Mitchell visits restaurants serving only desserts. Chef Bobby Flay pays tribute to the lowly oyster. And from Washington, Correspondent Bill Plante joins the furious debate over the perfect stopper for a bottle of wine. Could the lowly screw cap be better than a classic cork?
Throughout the broadcast, viewers will also be able to log on to CBSNEWS.com for a variety of holiday recipes.
