Pete Dalliday Hits the Kitchen For An Episode Taping of Cooking Show 'Questionable Taste'

Media personality, sports broadcaster and PTBOCanada’s own Pete Dalliday put on the chef’s apron for his guest appearance at the local cooking show ‘Questionable Taste’ with host Ray Galletti to air this week on Bell Fibe TV1 and the Bell Fibe TV app.

The show is based in Peterborough and has Galletti —despite not being a chef — cook with his celebrity friends. They create the guest’s favourite dish using local ingredients while chatting and perhaps a few laughs along the way.

“I was an absolute blast to work with Ray and be asked to take part,” explained Dalliday. “I’ve never done a cooking show before so that was a first and a ton of fun. Ray and I hit it off and have become friends. I may have even converted him into a Halifax Thunderbirds lacrosse fan after he came to one of our games this year.”

Dalliday and Galletti created Italian bread and cheese balls known as ‘pallottes’ which the former traditionally eats on Good Friday.

“It’s an old Giardino family recipe that I was proud to bring to the kitchen that day,” said Dalliday.

The show is co-directed by Peterborough’s Chad Maker and Kirk Comrie. Michael Hurcomb — who also is a Peterborough native — filmed the show.

Dalliday’s episode is listed as the second of season two of five listed tapings. The Peterborough Petes/Lakers play-by-play announcer shares sports stories, his father Gary Dalliday and growing up in Peterborough throughout the episode.

The show's first season had six episodes that had features such as Shantilly’s Place owner Shantelle Bisson on Chandos Lake and Sweet Beast Butcher Shop’s Grant Slavin.
