Steven Raichlen's Project Fire Season 4 Now Airing

[Michael_in_TX]

Steven Raichlen's Season 4 of Project Fire is airing weekly now on PBS. They are three episodes in so far. It is pretty much the Project Fire format you've come to expect, with the main exception being this is the first time they filmed it in an urban settings, St. Louis to be specific.

Unlike previous seasons there are more guest cooking segments, many specifically focusing on St. Louis-style BBQ.

For those with a keen eye, cinematographically, you'll notice the shots are a bit tighter and there is more use of depth-of-field to blur the background. It is, after all, filmed at St. Louis Union Station and there is no shortage of people walking around.

How many time does he say "cilantro"?????

[Michael_in_TX]

Not enough! Actually, I just looked at the recipes and cilantro (and his famous pronunciation) have yet to make an appearance this season.

[Michael_in_TX]

Will look for the series

Just watched the opening, I'll have to watch the rest later. Definitely St. Louis, pork steaks and toasted ravioli. Can't get more St. Louis than that. Have to admit, I never thought about grilling toasted ravioli. Toasted Ravioli is one of my families Christmas Eve traditions. Became more difficult when we moved away from St. Louis, but we don't have to try to find them in stores anymore, my daughter and her wife make them.

I've been wanting to do the ravioli one ever since I saw it. But I can't find meat-based ravioli anywhere around here. It's either all cheese or mushroom.

Ya gotta go to St. Louis! I have not had time to watch it yet, but you just need to go to "The Hill" in St. Louis and you'll get the best Toasted Ravioli you've ever had. Maybe the only Toasted Ravioli you've ever had in your life if you aren't from St. Louis.

I watched the ravioli part, and since he goes into detail about the sauce, but not the making the ravioli part, he must have bought them premade. Which is not hard to do in St. Louis.
