Student TV and student cooking are finally united in The Hot Plate
Student TV and student cooking are finally united in The Hot Plate
Two McGill students are challenging their cohorts’ culinary mores with their own home-cooking channel. The Hot Plate, which airs on the closed-circuit campus network TVMcGill, tries to bring easy-to-make gastronomy to the university’s pizza-chomping masses and some minor foodie cred to its hosts, Amanda Garbutt and April Engelberg. Cash-strapped undergrads, too busy to caramelize their onions, can tune in on TV or on-line for peppy instruction and a savoury pinch of shame.
