Is “foodie” still a word people use unironically? Regardless, self-proclaimed foodies and those who simply enjoy a good meal should probably tune in to The Drew Barrymore Show this Monday. The episode features a culinary competition centered around the hottest food trends of 2025. Remember when avocado toast was the height of culinary sophistication? Now, who knows what bizarre concoction will reign supreme.
Drew welcomes chefs Pilar Valdes and the venerable Jacques Pépin to adjudicate this gastronomic showdown. Will they favor molecular gastronomy, or will good old-fashioned comfort food win the day? This episode of The Drew Barrymore Show offers a chance to discover new recipes, witness some potential kitchen disasters, and perhaps even learn what the kids are eating these days. At the very least, it’s a pleasant distraction from the existential dread of a new year.
This episode marks the start of the sixth season for The Drew Barrymore Show. Over the years, the show has evolved from a standard daytime format to something a bit more freewheeling. Whether this evolution is a good thing or not is, I suppose, a matter of taste. But one thing’s for sure: Drew Barrymore’s enthusiasm remains a constant. It’s enough to make even the most cynical viewer crack a smile.
The Drew Barrymore Show airs Monday, January 6, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. on CBS.
