No, I'm not doing my Groucho Marx impersonation. I am really going to tell you about the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen.
What is it? The Culinary Adventures of Baron Ambrosia.
First of all, let me state that it appears that the "Cooking Channel" is, essentially, a secondary Food Network channel that is home to shows that wouldn't make it on Food Network.
One such program is The Culinary Adventures of Baron Ambrosia.
The show may pretty much be summed up as "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives with the added buffoonery of a grossly overacted character who is supposedly on some sort of quest which just so happens to lead him to the various restaurants being featured on the episode.
For example, the first episode has "Baron Ambrosia" searching for a treasure with a map and clues from P. T. Barnum by going to restaurants that wouldn't even have existed in the time of Barnum. Thus, the "adventure" is purely a contrivance for getting the "Baron" from one featured site to another. In fact, there was no useful culinary information presented that actually pertained to P. T. Barnum.
Now, I know that some people have even criticised Guy Fieri and Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, but not even that has the (pardon the food references) "ham" or "cheese" of The Culinary Adventures of Baron Ambrosia.
I'll admit that the RESTAURANTS and the FOOD were interesting, but at least Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives keeps the show moving without all the useless "adventure" filler.
Are ALL Cooking Channel shows this bad?

If blueberry muffins have blueberries in them, what do vegan muffins have?
