Cooking for Seamus follows Seamus, a disabled bull with palsy who was rescued as a newborn and developed an enthusiastic taste for human food. Archer, a laconic folk musician, cares for Seamus and created a cooking show tailored to the bull's sensibilities. They live in a leaky caravan near Castlemaine, Victoria, among other rescued animals including a goat named Lillian. Short episodes showcase celebrity guests preparing large, animal-friendly meals while performing or singing. Seamus 'rates' dishes via Archer's observations, creating a mix of eccentric humor, tenderness, and communal care around food.
For months Seamus couldn't even stand up or lift his head to feed, and as a result, quickly became enamoured with human food and in large amounts. All the farmers around here were laughing and taking bets on how long I can keep him alive, recalls BJ. Cooking for Seamus was created by a laconic folk musician named Archer who now cares for Seamus and takes feeding him seriously.
The pair live in a leaky caravan out near Castlemaine in Victoria, on a creek surrounded by other rescued animals, including Seamus's best friend, a goat named Lillian. I believe he has one of the most advanced palates in the history of the world, Archer says, as part of the explanation of why he's created an entire cooking show for his animal friend. Seamus, via Archer, rates his meals out of 10;
I reckon he's in the 9s, maybe a 9.2 Archer decides, after Seamus chows down a bucket of pumpkin penne pasta. Each episode, ranging between five and 20 digestible minutes, typically centres on a celebrity chef coming to cook a meal for Seamus like the American musician Martha Spencer, who not only cooks a huge helping of Appalachian cornbread and pinto beans for Seamus, but spends much of the episode singing songs to an audience of rescue animals.
