Cooked With Cannabis Review: Best Episodes to Watch

With legal cannabis taking the world by storm, it’s only a matter of time until we’re flooded with TV shows about our favorite plant.

While we’ve seen behind-the-scenes grow-op shows like Growing Belushi, Jim Belushi’s show about his cultivation site Belushi Farms, there’s a newcomer in the world of cannabis television that might make your stomach growl.

Launched in 2020, the Netflix original series Cooked With Cannabis features six episodes with three different chefs each. Their goal is to create different cannabis-infused meals for the hosts and guest judges to take home a prize of $10,000.

Cooked With Cannabis stars co-hosts Kelis and Leather Storrs. They are the only regulars on the show and feature in all six episodes.

There’s a new group of guest judges and contestants each week. Funny enough, the hosts refer to their guest judges as “best buds,” and there are plenty of other weed puns and jabs throughout the series.

The goal of the show isn’t so much to get the judges wickedly high. In fact, many of the contestants only infuse each dish with roughly 1-5mg THC and 1-5mg CBD.

“We’re trying to show that we can move [cannabis] out of the college dorms and kind of elevate it,” explains Kellis in the show’s fifth episode, High Holidays.

This show is an excellent option for stoners looking to get to know the art of cannabis cuisine. The chefs share all sorts of infusion methods and their personal experiences cooking with cannabis in the past.

But what’s even more thrilling is watching a 5-star meal being made right in front of your eyes while the chefs calmly walk you through what cannabinoids and terpenes are present in the meal and which parts of the dish have been infused.
