In the original series, Brown not only looked at familiar dishes, he looked at the details of how and why the dishes came together the way they did.
He took advantage of various types of multi-tasking cooking tools, noting that many were inexpensive and easy to obtain. Fans found themselves engaged by Brown's affable, engaging style, which made the dishes accessible to the average home cook.
The position being advertised will be asked to contribute original story ideas as well as write, produce and edit video content that will be published across multiple distribution platforms, including social media and web.
