The Secret Life of... is a Food Network show hosted by Jim O'Connor.
The ellipsis in the title refers to the food item or style of food which is featured during the 30 minute program. Included in the lineup are: cookies, steak, comfort foods, coffee, tailgating and popcorn. The show combines history segments with recipe segments. The history segments highlight key events in a food's history, usually including where it originated. In the recipe segments, George travels to different parts of America to become an "assistant" in the kitchen of a store or restaurant which specializes in the item featured in the episode.
After April 23, 2007, George Duran, former host of Food Network's Ham on the Street, took over hosting duties.
