KYLE CHEREK IS THE HOST OF WISCONSIN FOODIE, the Emmy nominated culinary television show, beginning it’s fourth season on PBS in the fall of 2011, currently broadcast across the Mid-West. He has been featured on the Travel Channel’s “Food Wars” now in its second season. Cherek is a frequent contributor to M Magazine’s print and online issues with his column and commentary, Man About Town About Food, and regularly hosts Midwest culinary events. His musings and general man about town-ness and can be kept track of at KyleCherek.com, twitter.com/KyleCherek and on Facebook, Kyle Cherek/public.
Wisconsin Foodie has quickly become a regional hit with both foodies and the less than culinary inclined, becoming the highest rated food show in the Southeastern Wisconsin television market. Each Wisconsin Foodie episode dives into Wisconsin's culinary world, profiling local food treasures and chronicling the story of where our food comes from by way of Wisconsin chefs, farmers, and artisans.
Kyle has been sitting up and taking nourishment since the Ford Administration. He is a born-and-bred Wisconsinite and sees the state as an amazing place full of people of true character, great history, craftsmanship, and artisanal dispositions. All of these continue to push Wisconsin’s culinary and sustainability trends forward. Kyle’s efforts to uncover the unique, the acutely regional, or the un-sung are never-ending. Aside from his families dinner table, his first true foodie experience was during the summer of 2000 when a friendship with a highly lauded local chef exposed him to the true alchemy of food , the value of exceptional ingredients, and cooking for the sheer pleasure of it. When not appearing on Wisconsin Foodie, he is busy relishing the city in which he resides (Milwaukee), combing farmers’ markets, soaking in good dishes, from high to low, or patiently waiting for the chance to say, "Let’s look at the desert menu, shall we?"
