Chef Graham Elliot on the New PBS Home Cooking Competition Show 'The Great American Recipe'

It’s a culinary creation rich with tradition, heritage, and memory that someone from Mississippi or Oregon or New Mexico makes for a celebration, or just to express their love for family and friends. It’s also a new cooking competition show on WTTW that will search for that outstanding recipe, giving home cooks from across the country the chance to showcase their talents and background on a plate before a panel of judges.

You have more typically worked with professional chefs. What’s the difference working with these home cooks from so many different backgrounds? You’re not dealing with tweezers and paintbrushes and things like that. And nobody that was on the show was there because they wanted to be the bad guy, or the fun one, where they’re playing characters. And none of them are hoping to open their restaurant tomorrow and using this as a platform to jump off. We literally had like a 65-year-old grandma making great food.connected with so many people. The viewership is “everyday American,” and they relate to that.

Absolutely. I didn’t really know that Rhode Island and Providence had such a rooted Italian population, and seeing food coming from a firefighter that he just cooks for his family, and this is his mom’s pasta recipe. Or you get rid of borders and you realize that California, New Mexico, Arizona: that was Mexico, like 150 years ago. And then we come over and take that, and it doesn’t change the food all of a sudden.
