THE ANTI-EMERIL: by Ed Murrieta, The Examiner, 02/29/03: "The star of this

rock 'n' roll cooking show [The Hippy Gourmet] is 49-year-old Bruce

Brennan, a James Beard-meets-Jerry Garcia bear of a man whose program

originates from a Victorian boarding house in the Haight-Ashbury District.

Behind the heavy-lidded gaze, shaggy gray beard and mellow baritone of this

Summer of Love DJ is a classically trained French chef who wants to feed

the people.

 

Each 30-minute show covers a side dish, main dish and dessert. Brennan's

typical attire is an aloha shirt, denim shorts, sandals and wax-dappled

talisman. His laid-back delivery includes instructions to "chunk it up" and

announcements like, "This'll be awhile before it gets rippin'."

 

Brennan promotes composting and recycling, and shows commune with food and

nature: a vegan barbecue at an animal sanctuary, a wild-huckleberry hunt at

the seashore, a sunset snack at the beach. Documentary-style segments

spotlight nonprofit agencies, while mood-altering shots of waves and

flowers are intercut with paisley graphics and psychedelic music. Every

show ends with a "yummy shot" and a tribal-gathering meal.

 

"The Hippy Gourmet's" culinary philosophy is easy, tasty and inexpensive.
