“Better Connecticut” will reprise its  popular series from 2010, “Cooking with the Candidates.”   The four candidates for the U.S. senate,  Susan Bysiewicz, Chris Murphy, Linda McMahon and Chris Shays are being invited to come on the program and whip up his or her favorite dish.

First up is Murphy who appear on the program today at 3PM.

Two years ago, gubernatorial candidates Dan Malloy and Tom Foley came to the WFSB kitchen and showed of their culinary skills, or lack thereof, as did senate candidate McMahon.  Her rival Richard Blumenthal declined to take part.

“It’s a great way for viewers to see the candidates in a totally different, non-political  setting,”   said Better Connecticut producer Melissa Dethlefsen;  “It was a big hit last time.”

Tune in this week starting at 3PM on Channel 3.
