Week 2 midday football games weren't doing for me today, so I jumped over to FoodTV. Hadn't heard of the show that was on, but the host's voice sure sounded familiar... wait, that's comedian Tom Papa from Public Radio's Prairie Home Companion / Live From Here. What's he doing on TV?

Turns out to be a visual & written love-letter to all things regarding baking (thus the title, duh). And, two episodes from now it features New Orleans.

Baked

Doberge cake
Gendusa Bakery (French bread)
Cochon Butcher (Cajun pork dog on a pretzel bun)
SoBou (beignets)
Cafe Reconcile (bananas Foster bread pudding)

Will be interesting to see how they represent NOLA.

Good title for a cooking with weed show.

I always find it interesting which restaurants they choose and for what reasons.

Like to try and come up with better ideas, but usually they are always different ideas and not necessarily better.


Cafe Reconcile can't get enough attention in my eyes.

Love that they’re featuring Cafe Reconcile, but those are incredibly lame choices for a baking-focused episode in New Orleans. Yes to Gendusa, but Cochon Butcher and SoBou are not exactly baking/pastry centric establishments.

NO is having a nice bakery moment—why not feature Gracious, Tartine, Breads on Oak, Bellegarde, Cake Cafe, Bywater Bakery, La Petite Sophie, the pita & oven at Saba, Maple Street Patisserie, Willa Jean’s, the reboot of La Boulangerie, O’Delice, Dong Phuong, Chez Pierre, or Hi-Do? Heck, they coulda done an episode solely on Vietnamese/French bakeries in NO.

Bong Appetit is a pretty good show, I saw Netflix has a weed reality cooking show called Cooking on High coming out.

bong appetite is great.
BTW their infusion method (put buds in oil in a jar then the jar in boiling water) really does work and couldn’t be easier. You can store the buds indefinitely after straining for re use

Agree with all of these being amazing, but nothing on that list is unique to NOLA. Dong Phoung is the closest thing with something like the "Vietnamese poboy" being unique.
