Televisión Canaria Launches New Talk Show 'Mira quién viene a cenar'

Televisión Canaria is launching a new entertainment show, Mira quién viene a cenar (Look Who's Coming to Dinner), which blends personal interviews with culinary education. Premiering this Monday at 10:30 p.m., the program aims to strengthen the network's local lineup, led by choreographer Rafa Méndez and chef Luna Zacharias.

The show features a host-and-guest format set in a home-style studio at Plató del Atlántico. Méndez, known for his work in dance and reality television, serves as the presenter, while Zacharias—a Lanzarote-based expert in healthy eating and hospitality—creates menus centered on local ingredients. Produced by Report Line Producción Audiovisual, the show is designed to feel intimate and personal.

The first episode features journalist Lydia Lozano. The show highlights her family roots in La Palma, moving away from current events to focus on her personal life and concluding with a surprise intended to provide an emotional finale.

This launch reflects a broader trend among regional broadcasters to revive the "talk show" format, using food as a way to spark conversation. For Méndez, the show is a new chapter in his career, while for Zacharias, it is a chance to share her philosophy on healthy living with a wider audience. Ultimately, Televisión Canaria is betting on high-quality production to build a deeper emotional connection with viewers through well-known national personalities.
