Guest guest Posted April 23, 2003 Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 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.
