ManInTheKitchen

The show began in 1995 as a public access effort in Chino, CA. The show was originally designed to encourage men to cook and introduce them to all the “tools” in the kitchen. The show started in Jeff and his wife Donna's home kitchen. After several years of taping with 3 small kids at home Donna said "It's time to get out of the house and into a studio." With the valuable help of Rusty and Randy, we got a kitchen set built and moved into the studio. We continued to work on the shows quality and appeal. Each episode had a series of easy and fun recipes. "Dan the Desert Man" (Dan Underwood) came by at the end of each show to prepare a delicious dessert. January 2000, was a big year for us. The show was picked up by PBS affiliate KVCR. Now the show was no longer a local show but was being broadcasted out to a huge portion of Southern California. WIthin the a year, Donna came on as our director (it's in her blood, her Grandfather was a cameraman for the big studios) and with the help of friends and family we produced 4, 26-show seasons for public television broadcast. We loved every minute of our rigorous schedule. Check out my website http://maninthekitchen.com/
