PappyVanWise Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I thought I'd start this thread to see if anyone is watching Hannibal on NBC. The first season is available on Amazon Prime and we're two episodes into season two, Friday nights at 10 and probably OnDemand. While watching this past week's episode, and seeing Dr. Lecter make an amazing osso bucco (albeit from a human leg) I thought how much this show was about the food and insane appetites of the title character. When I was thinking about starting this thread, Andy Greenwald wrote a fantastic spoiler-free article on Grantland: Night of the Manhunter and the food stylist for the show has created a blog for her work: Feeding Hannibal. Both of these, and just the pure beauty of the show, made me think it was worthy of discussion or even turning other people onto the show. Sure it's bloody and about horrific killings, but Bryan Fuller is truly a television auteur with a unique eye and voice. His other work is worth looking out for as well, Pushing Daisies and Wonderfalls were both built around restaurants and a little bit of the supernatural.

PappyVanWise Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 Didn't she hang out in the male lead's bar all the time? I know she worked in a Niagra Falls gift shop, but I remember her hanging out at the guy's place a lot more than being in the gift shop. I haven't watched it since it originally aired, so my memory could be cloudy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PappyVanWise Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 Either way, Hannibal is a great show and the food, even of it is of human origin, is beautifully shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PappyVanWise Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 Just picked up for a third season, everyone take the time this summer to catch up. It's on Amazon Prime and probably DVD at your local library. It really is an excellent show, with some amazing cooking, as long as you're not squeamish.

PappyVanWise Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 While listening to Anthony Bourdain on the latest Nerdist podcast, he mentioned that Jose Andres serves as the food consultant for Hannibal. As if you needed another reason to watch. This is a great show to catch up on over the summer. Jose Andres Blogs about Hannibal's Food Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
