Colameco

For New Yorkers and surrounding neighbor states, Mike Colameco is the voice on WOR 710 every morning talking about food.
11am to 12pm Monday thru Friday.
10am to 12pm on Sundays.

His radio show Food Talk was originally conceptualized by the legendary Arthur Schwartz and since Arthur's departure a few years ago, finding a successor had been somewhat of a headache.
Tyler Florence and Rocco DiSpirito both gave it a crack but they know nothing about restaurants in Manhattan. It was apparent on the radio when people would call up about recommendations and cooking advice and you could hear them thumbing through the Zagats or a Larousse trying to give sound advice.
Well, to a lot of guys in the industry, it's a deep breath of relief to know that a true professional is sitting at the mic giving good advice.
As I understand, Sara Moulton, Lidia Bastianich both wanted the job but I'm truly glad Mike got tapped for the job, and given free reign to do what he does very well. To just talk about food.










Mike also has a PBS television show called "Colameco's Food Show" where he goes around to restaurants, interviews the chef, films him doing a demo and then goes back to his home kitchen where he will try to construct a dish that you or I could make while highlighting the Chef's style and concepts. Cool stuff all around.
