The network's initial lineup will spotlight its MILLION DOLLAR

fabulous three-course meal with wine tasting. The program has been on
air for a year and is scored by tracks from Putumayo World Music.

of food-related content on the web and see the excitement and demand
for different voices and perspectives. The Indie Food Channel will do
just that, but in a different medium. Food is so personal, and
multi-faceted, and offers endless possibilities for discussion and
presentation. I’m excited to view some food programming that feels
fresh and real, just like good produce."
