Symon's Suppers is a cooking show that aired on Cooking Channel in 2012, starring Michael Symon, Jonathan Waxman, and Liz Symon. The show is an ode to the family suppers that the Symon family had growing up and aims to bring back the same sense of comfort and warmth to the viewer's homes. The show is set in Michael Symon's Cleveland home, where he invites friends over to have a cozy supper cooked by him and his guests.

The show begins with Michael Symon welcoming the audience to his home kitchen and introducing his guests. He then takes the audience through a cooking demo where he prepares the main dish for the evening. The dishes are all homestyle comfort food items that are easy to make and are perfect for a cozy night in with friends and family.

Jonathan Waxman, a renowned chef, is a frequent guest on the show and brings his expertise to the kitchen by offering Michael tips and tricks for perfecting his cooking. Waxman is known for his farm-to-table philosophy, and he ensures that the dishes are prepared using locally sourced ingredients, making it a sustainable option for the viewers.

Liz Symon, Michael's wife, is also a frequent guest on the show and brings her own unique spin to the dishes. Liz's expertise comes from running a successful catering business, and she offers great ideas for sides and desserts that complement the main course.

In addition to the cooking demos, the show also has fun segments where Michael, Jonathan, and Liz engage in friendly banter and share personal anecdotes. The show's relaxed vibe and the friendly banter between the guests make it feel like they are all sitting around a dinner table, enjoying a meal together.

One of the standout elements of the show is Michael Symon's philosophy on cooking. He emphasizes the importance of cooking with love and encourages viewers to cook with their hearts instead of following a recipe to the T. He believes that cooking should be a relaxed and fun experience and shows that by laughing and joking with his guests while preparing the meal.

Another unique aspect of the show is the use of the sous chef's cameras. Michael has equipped his sous chef with a camera that captures footage of the kitchen during the cooking demo. This feature offers a behind-the-scenes look into the kitchen and allows viewers to see the meal from multiple angles.

The final segment of the show is the dinner party, where Michael, Jonathan, Liz, and their guests sit down to enjoy the delicious meal they have prepared. The dinner party is a great way to see how the meal comes together and the reactions of the guests sampling the dishes.

Overall, Symon's Suppers is an excellent show for anyone who loves cooking and wants to learn how to create easy and delicious meals that are perfect for a family supper. The show has great energy, and the hosts' personalities shine through, making it an enjoyable and engaging watch. With its focus on locally sourced ingredients and Michael Symon's down-to-earth approach to cooking, Symon's Suppers is a must-watch for anyone who loves food.
