I claim no responsibility for the content of the program!!!
A non-hiker friend brought this show to my attention and said it was "pretty good."

I saw the commercial for the program. As I recall there was a focus on Mountain House and Craisins. It also looked like they would be showing and explaining the freeze-drying process.

Damn..and here I was hoping someone like Mario Batali would do a 5 course meal at some shelter in New England. Molto Mario Appalachia!
MMMMM, missed this one. :)

I was hoping that Bobby Flay would do a "Throw Down" with some thru hikers at some random shelter. They could go visit the local convenience store and stock up equally and see what kind of delicacies can be created.
That my kind of a show to watch.

Now THAT would be quite the cooking show. Perhaps Iron Chef with the mystery ingredient of.....CORN PASTA!!!!!
Oh yes...

I can just see bobby Flay cooking over an alcohol stove and using a heinekin pot to boil his two cups of water. What would be his base ingredient? Noodles or rice or cous cous? He would probably come up with some revolution in trail cooking. Oh the possibilities :-?
It is dessert that I would really be looking forward to. :banana

But she would only be there for 30 minutes or it would cost you $40 a day :-?

I'd like to see Robert Irvine do a Dinner: Impossible. Imagine...he has 6 hrs to do a gourmet feed for 50 hikers at a remote AT road crossing, using only backpacking stoves and food he can buy at the nearest town stop...and he has to hitch a ride to and from town!

My wife and I like Rachel but I think she would help keep the bears away at night.
On Alton Brown's "Feasting on Asphalt" last night there was was someone making coffee at a civil war reenactment use a jetboil.

Ha ha. I'd love Rachel at a shelter, too, but I think you're right about the bears. I wonder if she talks no-stop in real life?
