What happens when you get some of the best minds in music, film, and food access to their own web TV show? That’s what the Reserve Channel is willing to find out. Hosted on YouTube, the Reserve Channel is a web-based destination for original programming, and the fall line-up includes three new original series. One of which, we’re pleased to say, you can check out exclusively on BlackBook: Hooked Up with Tom Colicchio. Hooked Up is the first show to feature the beloved Top Chef judge and celebrity chef in a completely new element: on a boat, accompanied by one of his famous friends.
In the premiere episode below, Colicchio is joined by fellow chef Eddie Huang. The duo go out into the open waters to fish for shark and shoot the shit—and unlike Bravo, Reserve Channel gives the pair an uncensored platform. ("Rachel Ray or Paula Deen?" Huang asks. "I’m an ass-man. I’m going with Paula Deen.). Check out the episode below!
