Interweb Cookery: Working Class Foodies on Hungry Nation

I worked really hard at it and got over my prejudice about the word "foodie", then clicked on the Tortilla Espanola episode from Working Class Foodies, a brother and sister team that cooks up a dish for two for around $10. Max and Rebecca Lando use fresh, farmers' market purchased food, cooked in Rebecca's NYC kitchen. They seem to care about where their food comes from and try to shop locally.

I ended up watching all five episodes that are currently available (about 5 minutes each) in one sitting. New episodes of Working Class Foodies are released on Mondays.

Pros

They really cook, so there's the not-so perfect moments, which I appreciate.

They give us the entire recipe.

They take us with them to the Greenmarket.

Humphrey the dog is very, very cute.

Cons

Annoying commercials! But cooking videos don't grow on trees, so I'm (just barely) willing to put up with them.

VendrTV stars Daniel Delaney and is released on Wednesdays. He travels the world tasting the offerings of food trucks and carts. I couldn't make it through too many shows due to an overuse of that annoying swaying camera technique. Makes me queasy. And, I'm not so interested in watching people eat food, I want to see them actually cooking. But that's just me.

You can 'like' an episode, read the blog, comment and even upload your own food/cooking video on Hungry Nation. It looks like they will continue to add shows, so be sure to check frequently, or sign up for email updates.

Hey Dana!
Thanks so much for writing about Hungry Nation!

I just wanted to write to you and let you know that not only do we agree about the rocking, but we've eliminated it from the episode we filmed last week and will continue that way moving forwards. :)

As for cooking, stay tuned for our Halloween episode where we'll be doing some spooky recipes.

Thanks again!

Eat everything,
Dan

Dear Dan:

Great news on the rocky camera. And I just watched your Moxie RX feature which I quite enjoyed. Another great Portland OR eating place!

Also, I really appreciate your enthusiasm and energy when you describe what you've just tasted. You truly enjoy your food!

Hi there, this is Rebecca Lando from Working Class Foodies. I just wanted to thank you for your wonderful review of our show. We're huge fans of Apartment Therapy and The Kitchn, and couldn't be more honored that you liked our show enough to watch all 5 episodes at once.

Stay tuned for more - we have a lot of exciting episodes coming up, including appearances by a bunch of fantastic 'guest cooks'.

Thanks again, and stay hungry -
-Rebecca Lando
