The Westport Flea Market can’t spice up Food Network’s Meat & Potatoes

I sat down with a bowl of chili to enjoy the debut episode of Meat & Potatoes — which featured the burgers at the Westport Flea Market — on the Food Network Friday night. The show is a love letter to carnivores; host Rahm Fama promises to scour the country to satisfy his “craving for meat.”

I’m certainly a carnivore, but I’m not sure I’m feeling the love from Fama. The show has a great graphics package and is shot beautifully — the brisket is lit like a supermodel — but it’s oddly bland.
