Michael Symon's newest TV show, Cook Like an Iron Chef, debuts tonight at 10pm on the Cooking Channel, a new station from the creators of the Food Network. From the Cooking Channel's Website:
Iron Chef Mike Symon is breaking out of Kitchen Stadium to share his creative process and techniques for turning your favorite secret ingredients into unique, daring and delicious food. Chef Symon arms you with an arsenal of dishes that deliver perfect 10's for taste, presentation and creativity to help you do battle for the discerning judges at your own kitchen table.According to Symon, "It's essentially a show for the people who've watched Food Network forever and are ready to learn something more advanced or more creative."
He sees the show being for serious foodies who are ready to take the next step as a home cook. Of course the only way to take that next step is to get in the kitchen and cook, so after you watch the show, be sure to pick your favorite recipe from Live to Cook, head to your local farmers market for some fresh, local ingredients, and get in the kitchen and cook.
The Cooking Channel is 158 with Time Warner Cable in Avon Lake - no HD available yet - check with your provider to find out what station it is in your area. Unfortunately this station does not come with the standard service that we have with Time Warner so I won't be able to see the show. Hopefully it will show up on Hulu.
Update I: The Cooking Channel is 456 with AT&T Uverse - Thanks Sarah! Can you pull any strings to get Uverse to serve Avon Lake?
Update II: The Cooking Channel is 232 with Direct TV. Thanks Shawnee's Girl!
Update III: The Cooking Channel is 127 with Cox Communications. Thanks DaniP!

I think the cooking channel is on channel 456 for AT&T Uverse.
