A Shocking Re-Examination of a Beloved TV Chef's Dark Past. In a stunning revisit to a decades-old scandal, a new investigation into the sex-abuse allegations against celebrated TV chef Jeff Smith, also known as the "Frugal Gourmet," is set to shed new light on the case. First brought to the public's attention in the 1990s, the allegations against Smith, who hosted a popular cooking show from 1987 to 1997, were largely dismissed at the time due to a lack of concrete evidence. As the #MeToo movement continues to push for accountability in the entertainment industry, this re-examination of Smith's case promises to spark a long-overdue conversation about the consequences of abuse and the power of those who enable it.
