Local Talent: Cookus Interruptus
If the Food Network's getting too damn perky and perfect for you, check out Cookus Interruptus, a new Seattle-based online cooking show that focuses on organic, healthy whole foods. It's filmed in a regular-looking kitchen, which is a breath of fresh air for those of us who just haven't gotten to installing that Wolf range, and the lines between on- and off-air are pretty blurry.
The first portion of each short segment (the "cookus" part, one would assume) can seem a little ho-hum and overeducational, but I appreciate the little daggers of dry humor (or frank ridiculousness) that sneak their way in when, say, the hostess's husband walks in to find a strainer for straining the lumps out of his house paint (hence the "interruptus" part). Check it out.
