El Gourmet (Brazil)

El Gourmet (stylized as Elgourmet) is a Brazilian subscription television channel of Argentine origin dedicated to gastronomy. It began its broadcasts on July 1, 2015, replacing the Brazilian version of Casa Club TV

Background
As of December 2012, a new block is integrated into Casa Club TV called Bloco Gourmet (Gourmet Block) by decision of Chellomedia. This block achieved such success that AMC Network launched ElGourmet as a proposal to launch in Brazil in December 2014, being approved. On June 23, 2015 (the same day that the launch of Mas Chic in Latin America was announced) AMC Networks International Latin America announced the launch of ElGourmet as a 24-hour channel in Brazil to replace Casa Club TV, referring to the fact that channels of this type are sorely needed in Brazil, it was also mentioned that Más Chic would be possibly released sometime in the future.

Launch and success of ElGourmet
On July 1, 2015 at 9 am (São Paulo time) Casa Club TV is relaunched as ElGourmet. During its first week, the channel managed to position itself as one of the most watched channels in the variety genre. In March 2016, he premiered his first original productions made in Brazil. With the COVID-19 pandemic, ElGourmet became a Trending topic on social networks and was one of the most viewed channels between 2020 and 2022.
