This was the guy who got me interested in cuisine. Not just "cooking" but cooking beyond a recipe. I was in college and lucky enough to live in an apartment not 1/4 mile from the campus. Never missed his show either, which I believe was on PBS? I dunno, but in the "pre-connected" days that meant leaving campus to see it as it was broadcast. Some of my fondest college memories, there. Such a damned shame how his career and life ended...

Correct, The Frugal Gourmet started on PBS in 1973 (back before cable TV was really a thing) and ran there for 14 years before switching to the Odyssey Network (an early Christian oriented cable channel, now renamed the Hallmark Channel) for "The Frugal Gourmet Keeps the Feast" (based on the cook book with the same title) until the scandal.

When I was in my twenties I started to watch The Fugal Gourmet just to kill time, but when I started to cook as he did even buying the cookbooks I started to understand what he meant by fugal and how much you save by not cooking junk from a can. Almost forty years later I am always learning new things and updating information, but in the back of my mind, I always hear Jeff Smith.

I contacted my local ETV about showing them on one of the 3 channels they have any they said they were unable to show it because it has been off the air for so long but they show a lot of other crap that has been off the air since I was in elementary school.

I learned how to do omelettes from this episode. Only things I do differently is no water (just eggs) and use the handle to mark my halfway point for fillings and a flip guide. Never fails. Nice half moons all the time. It’s sort of a hybrid of French and American omelettes

It's funny watching him use Julia Child's flipping method but making an omelette that looks way better than hers. It just looks amazing. Wish I knew about the milk thing sooner because I have ALWAYS added milk to make it fluffier. I will try it with water next time!

Salt in the eggs is fine. This guy doesn't know what he's talking about. Adding salt and leaving it in there for a long time can cause issues but if you eat it right away there is no issue
