There's a new show on Food Network, called "Meat and Potatoes".
I actually watched (sort of) what I think is the first episode of it. I say sort of because I had it on the TV with no sound, looking over intermittently while working on the computer. From what I could tell, the show involves one shot of meats in various forms after another. First there was some grilled chicken. Then some steaks. Then some ribs. Then what looked like rack of lamb. All these foodstuffs seemed to be added, one by one, onto a platter over the course of the show. At one point there was some sauce.

From my brief, muted viewing of the show, "Meat and Potatoes" looks tasty, especially since it looks heavy on the former and light on the latter. But I'm not sure I see the point. It looked like an even more generic version of "Triple D" or something like that. Most of the travel/food shows showcase things that are interesting or unique: giant food, crazy food, "The Best Thing I Ever Ate", etc. This didn't seem to have any particular angle, at least that I could discern without the sound.
Oh well. I doubt I'll watch again, especially since the next episode is likely to balance things out with a heavy dose of spuds.
