Public-access television
The series began in earnest in the fall of 2001, filming every week from the restored Victorian style home and kitchen of The Herb'n Inn, a bed and breakfast in the Haight-Ashbury of San Francisco owned and operated by Bruce's sister, Pam Brennan. The show started airing on San Francisco Public-access television and later spread to fourteen other Public-access television stations from Novato, California to Los Gatos, California and ultimately into fifty-four Public-access television stations around the United States.
