Today VIZIO (NYSE: VZIO) announced season 2 of Spirits Network’s hit cooking show The Pantry hosted by celebrity chef Tom Colicchio is now available to stream. In season 2 the James Beard award winning chef and producer shares more of his culinary wisdom and indispensable kitchen essentials in six, 25-minute episodes. Episodes feature celebrity guest chefs including Gail Simmons, Rocco DiSpirito, Amanda Freitag and others as Colicchio does what he does best: using food and cooking to create joy and learning while bringing people together.
Viewers can up their gastronomical game by gleaning the shared wisdom of Colicchio and his guests and easily purchase the foundational ingredients and tools used in each episode by using the in-episode QR codes. This interactivity not only allows viewers to recreate Gail Simmon’s Panisse or Rocco DiSpirito’s Pacceri with Pesto Rosso and Red Shrimp but to do so using the same professional grade equipment as the chefs themselves.
The first episode of Season 2 is premiering today with new episodes dropping between now and December 8th.
“I’m excited to bring season 2 of The Pantry to VIZIO viewers,” said host Colicchio. “My goal with The Pantry is to remind audiences that time spent in the kitchen isn’t about making the perfect dish, but about the journey you take to get there. In its essence food is most wonderful to enjoy not only because of the flavors of a well-prepared dish but because these creations invite us to enjoy them with those we love most: our family and friends.”
In addition to being a world-famous restaurateur, Colicchio is also a fan-favorite as the head judge of the show Top Chef, now in its 21st season. The Pantry is a Spirits Network original series produced by award-winning, branded entertainment, content production company NBTV Studios.
“Our team was only too eager to help craft another season of this amazing show because after season one, our audiences were hungry for more,” said Greg Barnard, Sr. Director of Content Acquisitions at VIZIO. “We know our fans love cooking shows, so setting the table and inviting our fans for yet another course of Tom’s culinary magic makes perfect sense.”
Before diving into Season 2, VIZIO users can catch up on Season 1 on VIZIO’s WatchFree+ on the Fork & Flight channel and on-demand, which features noted chefs and celebrities like Marcus Samuelsson, Kristen Kish, Stephanie Izard, Liev Schreiber, and more. All that’s needed to start enjoying WatchFree+ is a free VIZIO Account.
