“Raid The Kitchen” is fun, local and celebrates all the different culinary cultures that make Flagstaff’s food scene so unique.
Each episode begins with John and Adam playfully arguing over what they’re going to make for dinner before ultimately coming to an agreement involving some kind of mashup of their ideas. Then, during the opening credits, Adam quickly “raids” the ingredients from John’s three Flagstaff restaurants so they can combine their favorite comfort foods to create exciting new dishes in their beautiful backyard kitchen.
Viewers likely will recognize that John and Adam have an undeniable fun-loving bond, which makes them a great team in front of the camera. Having spent almost 40 years in the restaurant world and the last 20 years appearing on several Guy Fieri series, John brings insight and confidence to his role as TV chef. He often plays straight man to Adam, who has a contagious sense of humor and natural comedic instincts and timing. And because Adam has Down Syndrome, “Raid The Kitchen” is inclusive, full of heart and has a positive message.
“Despite the laughs, this is still first and foremost a cooking show and in every episode Adam and I make mouth-watering meals that viewers will definitely want to recreate at home,” said John.
In the first three episodes, they make a Chicken Parm Burrito, Lobster Bagel Benedict and Salmon Navajo Tacos – dishes inspired by John’s restaurants and food he and his family have been cooking together for years.
“Raid The Kitchen” is fun, local and celebrates all the different culinary cultures that make Flagstaff’s food scene so unique. The first season was sponsored by John’s restaurant supplier, Shamrock Foods, and produced by Otto Pilot Entertainment.
Raid The Kitchen premiered at 10 a.m. (PST), Friday, Aug. 1, on the Johnny Brava TV YouTube channel www.youtube.com/@johnnybravaTV, with new episodes releasing every week. FBN
