Reader Marc sent in a link about an upcoming Food Network series called “Spy Chefs.” No, not “spa chef”, “spy chef.” Penciled in for the 2003 season, the show features Seattle chefs Tom Douglas and Thierry Rautureau disguised in silly outfits (female impersonation seems to be a favorite), sneaking into top restaurants, and later recreating what they had to eat. Behind the silly hijinks is the concept of taste memory and discovering what needs to be done to prepare a dish in order to recreate something you mainly recall from taste and smell. If the pilot episode works for test audiences, “Spy Chefs” will join Alton Brown on the humorous side of the Food Network.
