Introducing the Biker Chef
March 16, 2010

I hate to admit it but I watch too much TV. I also hate to admit that I enjoy the shows that I like to watch more than I should. Some of the shows are a bit embarrassing and for lack of a better term, are stupid.

With the popularity of ridiculous TV shows, I guess I’m not the only one who enjoys shows like the Flava of Love and the Real House Husbands of Hollywood.

Some of the shows I like are not so bad. I enjoy American Chopper, Motor City Motors, Kitchen Nightmares, Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations, Bizarre Foods, and Man vs. Food.

Food and motorcycle/builder shows have been among the most popular shows in the reality TV category. It seems like just a matter of time before someone tries to marry the two concepts into one show.

That’s exactly what Christopher Coppola hopes to do with his TV show concept, the Biker Chef. In this show Christopher, the biological brother of actor Nicholas Cage, tours the country with his trusty sidekick, Otto the Biker Cat. No, I’m not making this up.

In each episode, the Biker Chef and Otto visit different regions of the country, talk to locals, finds native cuisine and cooking secrets, and discusses local traditions. The true aim of the show is to exhibit cultural exchange through the joy and camaraderie that only food can create.

The show is also about great motorcycles. The Biker Chef rides a beautiful Honda Rune and even the Biker Cat rides on the handlebars decked out in biker leather.

I have to admit, I am sucker for anything biker related but this show sounds like Man vs. Food on motorcycles. Still, I find myself intrigued to see if the Biker Chef can bring something to mainstream TV that we haven’t seen already.

There is one thing that I can relate to from this show. The Biker Chef’s motto is “Live Long, Ride Hard, Eat Well.” Amen to that!
