Open Thread Watermark Chef TV Show, Brunchlike Action at Wild Hare: All on Open Thread
Posted by Nicki Wood on Fri, Feb 17, 2012 at 5:47 AM
Sorry to miss the Feb. 16 Nashville debut of Bob Waggoner's television show, UCook! With Chef Bob, on WNPT-Channel 8.
Watermark's most recent chef, Waggoner brings a distinguished background to both the kitchen and the soundstage. This guy! He's so TV! His televised credits include several Food Network shows and a regional Emmy for Off the Menu.
For his first local show, Waggoner was making chilled carrot and cantaloupe soup and seared pork chops with cipollini onions. Anyone catch it, or DVR it? Or cook it?
Turning westward, Wild Hare is now open Sundays from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., making it a seven-day-a-week option. Given the brunch-friendly hours, the Hare is offering brunch-appropriate specials on Sunday. The inaugural special, last week, was French toast.
What foodaciousness are you watching on television or other broadcast media? Any good tips to share? And where are you having brunch this weekend?

2 for 1 margaritas all day on Thursdays at El Stuffed Pepper. Went last night, it was fun; even if we were surrounded by MBA and Harpeth Hall youths.
I love that restaurant name so much. I sincerely mean that.
Stopped at a new food truck yesterday: the Hot Spot.
They have breakfast all day, meat pies, local beef burgers, Granny's Fried Chicken, and Twisted Chicken.
I had to try the Twisted; jerk spice and an "asian chili sauce" (cap jempol, maybe) -- and it was HOT!! I mean it was truly actually hot, too stout for poseurs. (When I asked for it, she asked me if I liked hot stuff, and I told her that I'd been to Prince's both for the hot and the extra hot.) Two legs and a thigh on two slices of white bread lightly grilled on the underside. Hand-cut fries too.
AND, they were still serving after 3pm!!! Food trucks tend to close up at 1:30 and I don't generally eat until after 2.... This was just south of where they're blasting for that huge thing downtown at Lafayette; she said they'd be at Friedman's today; nice & close to home if that will be a regular spot.
@yam, I ate at Hot Spot a couple months back. Had the burger--perfectly respectable. But now I want the twisted chicken.
