David Chang & Chrissy Teigen's new Freeform / Hulu show -- Chrissy & Dave Dine Out

Is it over-exposure – or just good marketing – to have two new shows on different outlets a day apart?

A day after “Dine Out”, essentially “Dine In” :rofl: – a new reality Netflix show which is him cooking “live” for various celeb guests, while they all hang out:

He did a lot of live cooking on Insta during the pandemic (and after), some of which was entertaining, some just him discovering how home cooks cook at home :smile:.

This one, however, is reminiscent of an old Mario Batali tv show (was it Molto Mario? long before The Chew) where he’d have a few celeb guests hang out in a studio kitchen while he cooked, and then eat what he cooked – anyone remember or watch that?

I’m intrigued by how the people are parsed across the two shows. They must have had to map that out pretty strategically.

(Also, if I’m honest, I’m slightly worried he’ll stop with the restaurant thing altogether – his food is delicious, so I really hope he doesn’t turn into a full-time TV personality and product shill, even though that’s what it’s increasingly looking like.)
