The Next Food Network Star has stayed precisely true to the path it has now been on for at least three seasons. If you've been around, you've heard this before, but I'm not a fan of many shows on the network, and the shows I do watch aren't the cooking shows. Every season, I watch along as Next Food Network Star narrows the field down to one person who convinces me that I might actually be … [Read more...]
There's probably no point in continuing to say that The Next Food Network Star is either going about things all wrong, or exactly right, but I'll leave the success of the last few winners to speak for me. With the possible exception of Tom (and I mean "possible" very seriously), and maybe Brad, there never was anyone on this run that I'd watch if they had a show. Of course, I don't watch a lot … [Read more...]
You may have been around to hear me mention Adam Gertler several times before, and the Next Food Network Star non-winner has another new show premiering tonight, Kid in a Candy Store. Not long after losing the competition show, Adam showed up with Will Work for Food, and I still consider it one of the best shows to ever hit as a result of Food Network's reality talent search. To be honest, no … [Read more...]
A show that I have long been at odds with, The Next Food Network Star, is returning for a new round on June 6th. Almost as though obsessed with picking the people I would least be interested to watch, the show and I have a certain love/hate relationship. Of course, it may be in their best interest to find out who I like, and pick the other person, because while I love both Adam Gertler and Will … [Read more...]
I hope you've been watching Food Network's new spin on cooking competitions, Worst Cooks in America. Watching yet another show with seriously talented chefs has its place, but I find it a lot more interesting to watch people learn some serious skills. People who have the interest, maybe the passion, but don't have the experience. To celebrate the new Worst Cooks in America series, Food … [Read more...]
Premiering tonight, Food Network is putting a new spin on cooking competition shows. Worst Cooks in America finds a crew of contestants trying out for the opportunity to learn from Anne Burrell and Beau MacMillan. What they don't know is that these two chefs are looking for the worst cooks, and they're picking the people who will be on their opponent's team. The theory will be to prove who is … [Read more...]
I have to admit, I liked Dinner: Impossible. The Food Network has very little to offer me actually, but there are a few shows that manage to pull me in, and Dinner: Impossible was one of them. Ace of Cakes isn't bad once in a while, and depending on what we're looking at, I can be a sucker for Unwrapped. Next Food Network Star has some appeal, and fruit of that tree Will Work For Food is … [Read more...]
