Weeknight Hits, a popular cooking show hosted by Adam Liaw, brings together culinary excellence and entertainment in a unique format. The series currently runs Monday through Wednesday on SBS. Along the way, each episode showcases Liaw’s impressive culinary artistry and is peppered with a diverse lineup of special guests, too — from celebrities to family members to fellow chefs.
Set against the stunning backdrop of Australia, Weeknight Hits is a completely new approach to cooking. It opens Liaw’s kitchen to a varied and colorful rainbow of guests, making it a delightful atmosphere. This week, the show highlights extraordinary talents of ARIA award-winning artists, Guy Sebastian and Sarah McLeod. Alongside them, Liaw goes on to cook excellent meals and offer up his own personal experiences as well as their culinary journeys.
The structure of Weeknight Hits serves to key you into actual cooking, while naturally weaving in discussions about adult topics. The punchy and irreverent show tackles big ideas through unscripted conversations that frequently use profanity and discuss mature subject matter. It is a dynamic, cool looking environment that really draws audiences in.
And given each episode of Weeknight Hits, we pride ourselves on appealing to racial, geographic, economic and other intersections of a diverse audience. It’s got subtitles in several languages, including English (CC). This feature makes certain that non-English speaking audiences can experience the culinary journey just like the host and his guests.
Adam Liaw engages audiences, both in-person and onscreen, with his lively energy. As a chef, television personality and cookbook author, Andrew Zimmern knows his way around a kitchen. He assumes full control as new host and show runner. What’s hard is how he nimbly navigates complex cooking challenges with his guests, only to keep it fun, warm and engaging.
With its unique blend of cooking and personal storytelling, Weeknight Hits stands out in the crowded landscape of culinary programming. The show’s ability to lure high-profile guests increases its cachet. Audiences have an unprecedented opportunity to experience their favorite stars in a raw and revealing new light.
