Delicious food! Chris+Melissa Tested and approved.
We love delicious food! Don’t you? Of course you do! Why else would you be on this page?
We are amateur at-home chefs who are happy to invest a little time in the kitchen, so long as it yields double-thumbs-up yum results. We don’t always get things right on the first try, but we always have a good time in the kitchen on The ChriMel Show. We’re also dedicated foodies who love checking out new restaurants and sharing our favorites.
