Food Influencer Brad Leone Hopes to ‘Teach Viewers to Eat Better’ With New YouTube Shows (Exclusive)
Brad Leone, best known for his work at Bon Appétit on “Test Kitchen” and “It’s Alive,” announced on Monday that he’s launching two new shows, “Local Legends” and “Makin’ It,” both of which debut Monday, June 5 on his YouTube channel.
Speaking to TheWrap ahead of the launch announcement, the New York Times-bestselling author said, “The series are about the behind-the-scenes: where food comes from, the importance of people. Maybe I just want to teach viewers to eat better, to cook better, to try cooking. I always tell people they are better at cooking than they probably think they are. The first pancake is never the best, and so you keep trying and have fun. It’s all part of the adventure.”
Described as a “community guide” rather than a city guide, “Local Legends” follows Leone as he explores “new people, places, cultures, products and foods.” New episodes will be...

Last night, the series finale of "Mad Men" reacquainted us with the joyous and hippy-dippy "I'd Like to Buy the World a Coke" commercial. A fine sentiment. Truly everyone on Earth should experience the jarring feeling of getting brown film on your teeth as you angrily munch Fritos. But is it the best commercial of the '70s? Sorry to ruin Don Draper's endless "om," but my favorite commercial of the '70s is easily the "I'm a Pepper" Dr. Pepper spot from 1979. David Naughton's strange jiving is more compelling to me than euphoric hippies. The dada appearance of Popeye makes it even better. The sheer specter of "Makin' It" makes it better. Here's what else is going on at HitFix today. -"Mad Men" ended and Alan Sepinwall explained what it all means. Did the final moment suggest Don is just an ad man in his heart of hearts?...

Here comes some non-b*tchy diplomacy: The eleventh season of American Idol wound up to be an apples-and-oranges grudge match, and either of the final contestants is a viable contender. For sure. Except here's the thing: If you're not rooting for Jessica Sanchez, you're a screaming ninny in mom jeans, and I hate that you believe you matter. This show is so starved for a female champion of wondrous vocal prowess and stage-stomping finesse that voting otherwise is boring contrarianism. I'm obligated to revisit those other lady contestants who fell like dominoes in previous seasons: Carly Smithson? Allison Iraheta? Crystal Bowersox? Haley Reinhart? They dead, girl. Jessica has the ceiling-piercing wail to reverse the streak, and unfortunately, her opponent Phillip "Maroon 311" Phillips has exactly the skillset to maintain it. He's a fuzzy Xerox of Scotty McCreery who combines Kris Allen's knack for song reinvention and Lee DeWyze's rowring,...
