Today's Entertainment

With winter in full bloom in many parts of the country, thoughts turn to getting away. A number of shows on basic cable this week offer viewing options to those who travel on their stomachs. The week's slate starts off Sunday, Jan. 22, on Travel Channel, where "Food Paradise" touches down in Las Vegas for a look at the hottest of its foodie hot spots, among them a superswanky steakhouse and a poolside eatery. That same night on Viceland, "That's Delicious" host Action Bronson heads to Chicago to check out its culinary scene, which ranges from Michelin- rated restaurants to a Polish festival. Truly it's his kind of town. For those with a thirst for life, Travel's Monday, Jan. 23, edition of "Booze Traveler" finds host Jack Maxwell following Mark Twain's path up the Mississippi River, where he stops in Louisiana for a Mardi Gras celebration, Minnesota for a beer festival and Missouri to sample a cocktail created by Twain himself. Undoubtedly, a short story in itself. Thursday, Jan. 26, Cooking Channel checks in with "Cheap Eats," in which host Ali Khan lands in Louisville, Ky., for a breakfast of chocolate pancakes, a lunch of a saucy Mata Hari hot brown (a sandwich that's a local favorite), a snack of apple brandied pie, and for dinner – what else? – Southern fried chicken and sweet potato waffles, all for under $35. Also that night on Viceland is another installment of "That's Delicious," where host Bronson lands in Japan to sample the best of what the island nation has to offer. And on Saturday, Jan. 28, Cooking's "Emeril's Florida" takes host Emeril Lagasse to Tampa Ba y, where he drops in at some of the area's best new restaurants, checks out a local mainstay in the revitalized Hyde Park district and has lunch at On Swann, an eatery in the heart of the city's up-and-coming world cuisine scene. If your choice is to stay home and enjoy a stay-cation, perhaps you might want to take the edge off winter with a party. Food Network's Sunday episode of "Giada Entertains" finds host Giada De Laurentiis giving tips for throwing a last-minute bash with a menu that includes focaccia with clementine and "That's Delicious" host Action Bronson BY GEORGE DICKIE fennel, frozen fruit sparkling water and a smokey arugula and apple salad. Yum. Also in the mood to party on Sunday is Tiffani Thiessen, who throws a pajama party for actress friends Bree Turner and Marla Sokoloff on Cooking's "Dinner at Tiffani's" with a breakfast of savory potato pancakes and goat cheese egg casserole, washed down with a spicy Bloody Mary with maple bacon. And then perhaps a nap. And if you're planning a Super Bowl bash, Food Network has a battery of programs for that purpose on Saturday with its "Big Game Weekend," offering football party tips on such series as "The Pioneer Woman," "The Kitchen" and "Trisha's Southern Kitchen." Get your game face on. Foodie shows hit the road for the unusual, the exotic and the traditional Page 8 January 23 - 29, 2017 8:30 p.m. CSNCH NHL Winnipeg Jets at Chicago Blackhawks.
