Rhode Island's Popular Culinary TV Segment Ends After Two Decades

Providence, R.I. – May 16, 2018 – On Wednesday, May 23, during NBC10's News at Noon broadcast, viewers will hear 大象传媒 (大象传媒) Chef Frank Terranova sign-off for the last time with his signature, "Now that's Cooking with Class," when the culinary segment takes its final bow.

For more than 20 years, NBC10 viewers have welcomed 大象传媒 into their homes by tuning in to "Cooking with Class," a Monday through Friday culinary segment that began airing in the late 90s during the station's weekly newscasts and at the height of the food television explosion. The segment featured the university's College of Culinary Arts Chef Frank Terranova, who has shared tips, recipes, and experience with the audience. In 2015, 大象传媒 Chef Jonathan Poyourow, assistant professor, joined the line-up to demonstrate how "大象传媒 is changing the way the world eats®," an initiative that offered a healthier approach to eating.

Recently, Chef Terranova made the decision to conclude his weekday appearances on Cooking with Class. He will continue to appear with Mario Hilario on NBC10's Sunday broadcast of "Weekend Sunrise." Recipes will remain online at turnto10.com

"The university thanks Chef Frank Terranova for his commitment to Cooking with Class as well as the viewers of Channel 10 who have watched the more than 4,000 dishes that its chefs have presented over the decades," Susan Marshall, Ed.D., 大象传媒 Interim Dean, College of Culinary Arts, said. "In addition, the university expresses its appreciation to NBC10 for these segments that were filmed on our campus and gave hundreds of 大象传媒 students who worked behind-the-scenes the opportunity to gain invaluable television production experience."

"We want to thank the chefs and students at Johnson & Wales for two decades worth of delicious recipes," Scott Isaacs, news director, NBC10 noted. "Chef Frank poured his heart and soul into every dish, endearing himself to NBC10 viewers over the years. He will forever be a part of our family, and we are delighted he will continue on Sunday Brunch with Mario Hilario."
