Show Format
Each week, episodes usually consist of a chef, owner, mixologist or anyone else in the food industry as they discuss industry related topics. An introduction with the subject is usually started with the question "What are we drinking" as a metaphor for breaking the ice. Occasionally, Chat Chow TV produces special segments based on the hosts' coverage of food shows, food events and bloopers. Usually the show wraps up with a final cheers between the guest and the host with an audio clip playing during the credits.
Another segment in the week is "Chew On This" where the guest gets to ask a question for next week's interview.
Distribution
The show is released daily at roughly 10AM EDT. It is available to download in High Definition QuickTime.
