6 More Shows Celebrating Our Food Memories: Best of the Rest

Explore these 6 television shows that celebrate our food memories and heritage. From southern food to French cuisine, you’ll love these shows.

We’re baaack! Now that you’ve had a chance to check out our favorite food memory-centric shows on Netflix, we’re sharing six (6) more shows from other networks that will give you the warm fuzzies and the munchies.

How many of these have you watched?

Trisha’s Southern Kitchen (Food Network)

Trisha Yearwood may be best known for her music, but she also knows her way around a kitchen. Every Saturday morning, you can catch her on Food Network putting a new spin on classic Southern favorites.

Many of her recipes were passed down from or inspired by her family.

Trisha loves to share food and make memories with her family and friends. From Halloween parties to movie nights, her trademark is putting new spins on old favorites (grilled pizza on a stick, anyone?).

We’re eagerly awaiting our invitation to join her in the kitchen someday (hint, hint)…

Holiday Baking Championship (Food Network)

Food Network has baking competitions for all seasons, but the holiday edition is always our favorite. The stakes are high as bakers compete for prize money, but there’s plenty of holiday spirit and good cheer- and delicious treats!

Each challenge presents the bakers with new opportunities to relive and reinvent cherished food memories. Season 3 winner Chef Jason Smith paid tribute to his grandmothers and aunts- who didn’t always have money for ingredients- by using soup beans for a mock pecan pie and adding sauerkraut to keep a cake moist.

We hope you have some flour, sugar, and butter on hand- you’ll probably want to get up and bake something after watching an episode or two!

A Chef’s Life (PBS)

Chef Vivian Howard swore she’d never move back to eastern North Carolina. Now she runs some of the region’s best restaurants.

A Chef’s Life follows Vivian and her husband as they run their restaurant, Chef & the Farmer (while raising twins!). Over five seasons, Vivian also highlighted many foods integral to Southern culinary heritage, from muscadine grapes to mayonnaise.

Vivian has certainly kept busy since the last season of A Chef’s Life, adding a pizzeria and some delicious-looking biscuits to her restaurant lineup and publishing a new cookbook.

You can also catch her on her latest show, Somewhere South, in which she digs into the history behind classic Southern foods.

Be Our Chef (Disney+)

There’s never been a more magical cooking competition! In each episode of Be Our Chef, two families face off in a culinary challenge inspired by a popular Disney movie.

Disney is no stranger to putting food on screen (Ratatouille and The Princess and the Frog, anyone?), and it’s so much fun to see favorite scenes and characters turned into edible creations. Best of all- win or lose- these families will have incredible food memories to last a lifetime.

Dishing with Julia Child (PBS)

Before there was Food Network, there was The French Chef. Julia Child was a pioneer of cooking shows and has charmed and inspired generations of home cooks and professionals.

On Dishing with Julia Child, some of today’s most popular chefs rewatch and share memories of some of Julia’s best TV moments. Some of them even knew or worked with Julia herself and drop in some fascinating insights.

If you liked Julie & Julia or grew up watching The French Chef, this is a show you should definitely check out!

Unwrapped (Food Network)

Sarah and Lisa used to love watching Unwrapped together! Seeing how popular foods and drinks were made was always so much fun. [Lisa here – I loved this show! Oh, that twinkie episode!]

It definitely made them appreciate some of their favorite treats a bit more.

The show has covered just about everything over the years, from fast-food favorites like McDonald’s and White Castle to nostalgic treats like Dubble Bubble gum and Twinkies. It’s even covered record-breaking foods, including the world’s largest potato chip, and food memorabilia, such as Campbell’s soup collectibles.

After a successful original run, Food Network revived the show in 2015, with Alfonso Ribeiro taking over hosting duties from Marc Summers. We’re so excited to get more episodes and for other families to get hooked on this show like we did!
