2010-02-24 The Cooking Channel: More food TV headed our way - Kansas City Restaurants and Dining - Fat City

And because food television is rarely edgy, its hard to imagine just what food lovers exist out there on the edge. Most of what Im imagining is neither tasteful nor likely appetizing if filmed. In addition, niche television networks seem to be slightly behind niche Web sites -- thus, I expect well see a slate of shows about the raw food movement, eating local and small batch producers of spirits or food.

Many of the current food-TV options fall under the category of TiVo filler or channel of last resort -- Im not sure how a second channel will be able to offer programming that will break the mold. Sequels to existing cable channels -- MTV2 or ESPN2, for example -- tend to become clearinghouses for leftovers that are entertaining only because they can expose some of the stories at the fringe.
