The Frugal Gourmet Died
 

His real name was Jeff Smith.

I hadn't heard that. I used to enjoy his show because he had interesting history notes about regional foods. I like to watch cooking shows even though I don't cook much.

Oh man, I used to love the Frugal Gourmet...would watch that on saturday mornings with my dad. I learned a lot about the history of different regions by watching that show...

I was wondering what happened to him after the sex scandal. I'm sad to see him go -- he always seemed to truly enjoy what he was doing.

Dag, that was my SHOW. That was how I got hooked on cooking shows, him, Julia and Jacques Peppin. :(

Julia and Jacques are the shiznit. One of my favorite cookbooks is the "Cooking at Home" one they did together.

I used to love that show! How sad... :(
