I love cooking shows. I don't watch them much any more because the ones on now are boring, in my opinion. I used to be a particular favorite watcher of "The Frugal Gourmet" show. He usually had themed type shows and dishes and sometimes it featured different locations and a bit of history, etc. He also wrote several books with receipes, etc. His show went off the air several years ago and he has passed away now, I believe.
I also liked to watch a lady cook, I think her name was Natalie Dupree and she did "Southern" type cooking. Maybe from the "Southern Living" series of books, magazines, etc., but I'm not sure on that.
I also used to love to watch "Yan Can Cook". It was always good for a laugh. He was a pretty hyper chef.
Thoul, the man / cook you spoke of who was a cajun was named Justin Wilson. He was also good to watch. He was from Louisiana and loved that Louisiana Hot Sauce and all things cajun. Gotta give that man a lot of credit because after he cooked his food on the air, he also sat down and ate it.

I've never seen anyone else eat the food they cooked but he did. He has also passed away now, but there are probably reruns of his shows still being shown today.
I never did really like Julia Child all that much.
