KAMU-TV cooking shows

Hey!

Don't you hate the “TV Magazine with Sharon Colson” shows on KAMU-TV with the boring cooking tips? Mostly, these are "how to open the package and put it into the skillet on the electric stove" lectures that are repeated on the Research TV channel a few channels up on the cheap Suddenlink subscription.

This show is a little like listening to Dr. Ruth giving sex education over the radio. Sharon needs a little more spice to make it all worth it, though.

At least, Sharon keeps me stickin' around for the next program in the KAMU-TV line-up, “Show cattle.” Boy howdy! The cattle might show up on Sharon's next cooking show!

"We Feed People"

We feed people.... No need to identify the corporate ID of this offending slogan. OK, it's Buppy's. We have all been subjected to their on-campus buffet offenses.

But who here will admit to "dining" at their industrial kitchen and onsite porch "restaurant?"

"How's everything tastin' for ya?"

"How's everything tastin' for ya?" makes me cringe, every time I hear it from a server. Maybe I first heard it at a Waffle House in North Texas, or was it at a Golden Corral in Red Bluff, California?

But "tastin' for ya" must be have East Texas origins, because practically every waiter or waitress who has held a menu here in the Brazos Valley uses that foul expression.

Whenever you hear that question, you are supposed to answer, "Great!" If you don't, you will not get any more iced tea refills.

Let the food fight begin!

This blog is dedicated to immortalizing the "worst of the worst" dining experiences you have had in the Brazos Valley. Let's devote ourselves here to no holds barred critiques and criticisms of local cuisine, from the depths of Buppy's and Wings 'n' More, to the bathysphere of Luby's on South Texas Avenue.

And let's not forget about the poseur restaurants which promise quality, but deliver far, far worse.... Complain here about your let-downs and interpersonal disasters with clueless servers and obnoxious owners. Warn us about proud pricing for mediocre dishes. Slam the annoying advertising campaigns. Kvetch about dirty kitchens.

Yes, you've complained a lot in private about the crappy state of culinary affairs in the Valley, and so now it's time to do it in public, in the blogosphere. We can do it, yes we can!
