The Cooking Channel is filming in the Upper King Design District in downtown Charleston today and tonight at La Fourchette French Bistro. According to owner Perig Goulet, the Cooking Channel will be filming for a future program for their "Unique Eats" series on French Bistros that will air some time in 2011. The exact date has yet to be determined.
Goulet opened La Fourchette five years ago on King Street and features a menu of French specialties and wines from his native Brittany.
According to Cooking Channel producer Irene Wong, La Fourchette is one of only a few bistros selected by the Cooking Channel for this series. The additional bistros are in Los Angeles and Montreal and all feature casual, high-end, French cuisine.
"Unique Eats" spotlights America's most exciting and revolutionary restaurants; the first look and the last word in everything extreme in food today. The locations range from high-end dining rooms to casual neighborhood treasures, the most amazing examples of modern dining across America.
The Cooking Channel is part of Scripps Networks Interactive, which also owns the Food Network. The Cooking Channel places more emphasis on international cuisines, drinks, food culture and advanced cooking techniques.
La Fourchette is at 432 King Street, in historic downtown Charleston in the Upper King Design District. Call for reservations 843.722.6261.
