Cooking over an open campfire is host Johnny Nixs specialty – but the new season of Campfire Cafe takes this method of cooking to a whole new level with the introduction of open hearth cooking filmed at the beautiful new Jack Daniels BBQ Pavilion on the Hill in Lynchburg, Tennessee.
(PRWEB) January 6, 2005 -- Open fire cooking is certainly nothing new, but introducing this traditional method as an entertaining, recreational activity for enjoyment today is a new concept thats catching on to viewers of the program nationwide. Campfire Cafe, now in its sixth season, has brought this lost art front and center by preparing delicious, unexpected gourmet recipes in a way that has empowered outdoor enthusiasts everywhere to give open fire cooking a try.
Growing popularity of the series prompted the introduction of open hearth cooking in the new season premiering March 1, 2005. Viewers will continue to be inspired by the ease in which Johnny prepares entrees like Tennessee Tenderloin Tips and Turn Spit Cornish Game Hens, or Wild Berry Buckle and Apple Pecan Dumpling desserts, high on the hill overlooking the sleepy, Southern town of Lynchburg – home of the Jack Daniels Distillery for well over 130 years.
Filming the series in Lynchburg offered the perfect backdrop for resurrecting this way of cooking that has deep traditional roots in the history of our country. The series will also share the legacy of American icon, Jack Daniel, and the heritage of the area that he was so instrumental in creating. Viewers will be surprised to learn that the values embraced and traditions started by Mr. Jack in the 1800s are still very much alive and that nothing much has changed in the way his famous brand is made today. Exploring the culinary heritage of open hearth cooking in this area would not be complete without a few recipes using the famous local product! Down-home cooking at this historic location, in a way that keeps one of our most valued, basic traditions alive, proved to be a winning recipe for this exciting new 13-episode spring series.
The Campfire Cafe television series is entering its sixth season on public television and airs on over 100 PBS stations nationally. The series also airs on RFD-TV on DISH Network and DIRECTV, PAX network affiliates and various cable networks.
