Hungry.tv & Steven Raichlen/Primal Grill

[Michael_in_TX]

Hungry.tv is a streaming service that airs many of the cooking shows that aired on PBS and the FoodNetwork in the 1990s and 2000s. Names like Sara Moulton, Martin Yan, Julia Child, are often streaming. They company behind it seems to buy up the rights to shows shot in standard definition that would never be re-aired today.

I discovered they now have a YouTube channel so you can watch some shows on-demand. I've been really enjoying watching Steven Raichlen's Primal Grill, which aired in 2008, on there. It can be a little jarring to watch. Primal Grill was only his second series (after BBQ University) and it is a little bit less polished. Still, recipes are recipes and I've already picked up a few new-to-me ones that I want to try. (And....you do need look away when he does the poke test or soaks entire logs in water lol.)

Here's the YouTube playlist link: https://www.youtube.com/@HungryLive/playlists

They don't have all of the episodes, but a good selection of them. Incidentally, I've also found one can watch season three of Primal Grill in its entirety for free on Philo: https://www.philo.com/player/player/...Tk2NDg1MTI5MzE

Some great shows on this site. Thanks for the links. Image cooking shows about the food and not the chefutainer.

I'm enjoying some of the Sara Moulton ones. She was a staple of daytime Food Network twenty years ago. One thing that I remember really liking about her program was that, as her show was filmed in her actual New York apartment, she was the only TV chef/cook who used an electric range. It was easier for me to match her technique with my electric range.

I'm sure many of us watched a cooking show while learning how to cook and when the chef with the gas stove said cook over high heat, we with out electric ranges would dutifully put our stoves on HI and incinerate our dish in the next three minutes.

This is a good find. That looks like maybe season 1 and 2 on the Hungry YT channel ?

Season 3 is also on the Crackle streaming app, but only the on-line version.

I had all three seasons of Primal Grill recorded on my Tablo DVR. The PBS channel, Create , had replayed them. But the hard drive associated with Tablo crashed and I lost them all.

I wanted to back those shows up to protect from a crash, but Tablo uses a video format that's unique to Tablo.

But anyway, I've got them now ! Thanks !

All three seasons of Raichlen's Primal Grill are on a streaming service called Plex, which is a new one for me .......... and btw, Crackle went under and should be gone, by now.
