Batali's Dailymotion series serves food, music
Celebrity chef Mario Batali sets the table for Dailymotion's first entry into the world of original programming.
To court U.S. viewers, the Paris-based video sharing site will debut the five-episode original series Feedback Kitchen on Jan. 26, challenging the likes of AOL, Yahoo, Hulu, YouTube, Netflix and Amazon. Mario Batali is host of the 22-minute show that combines cooking and music. Each episode features Batali talking to a musical guest about the similarities between music and food. And then, Batali prepares a personalized meal for his guest in exchange for a musical performance.
The five musical guests include Patti Smith, Flea, The Edge, Josh Groban and Perry Farrell. Dailymotion will run a trailer for each episode of the series every day this week, leading to the Jan. 26 release of all five episodes.
