After Hours With Daniel

Has anyone checked out "After Hours With Daniel" on the "Mojo" channel?

Daniel Boulud hosts. He and his pals go to restaurants around New York, cook a few dishes, and talk about life and food. In tonight's episode, they went to Dinosaur BBQ where Daniel made some crawfish and then brought his friends back for a late dinner.

It's a remarkably good show, high production values, intelligent hosts and conversation, and great looking food.

The downside is that it's only, as far as I can tell, on "Mojo", which is only available to cable subscribers with HD packages. I think. For me (on Comcast), it's channel 174.

Anyway, check it out if you get a chance.

I've seen this series and really enjoyed it. First, it's nice to see all the food in HD. Also, the banter between the personalities can be pretty good. But that depends on who the guests are for that particular show. Some groups really clicked & some groups' conversations seemed a bit forced. Great show overall.
