Justin Warner and Alton Brown Together Again

If you have been following Alton Brown's podcast, The Browncast, he has been having new podcasts every Friday.  This Friday, last Food Network Star winner Justin Warner was on the Browncast.  As I am sure you are aware, Alton Brown was supposed to produce Justin Warner's show as part of the prize of winning Food Network Star, but did not end up producing Rebel Eats.  Justin also only got a 1 episode pilot that aired primetime rather than the usual 6 episode season airing during the daytime.

So, did Justin reveal anything about Food Network Star or any upcoming plans with the Food Network?

There was a little bit of talk about his experience on Food Network Star and also who he still talks to.
Justin also talked about the filming of Rebel Eats and how the production company (who Alton set him up with) pretty much let him do whatever he wanted.  There was also a lot of talk about the people he encountered on Rebel Eats.

At the end of the interview, Alton asked Justin (regarding Rebel Eats) if he was going to do it again?  Justin said, "Heck yeah!" 
Then Alton followed up with "Has somebody said, 'Go, do that?'" to which Justin responded, "Not yet"

So, of course Justin wants to do more episodes, but it doesn't look like the Food Network has it in their plans yet.


Here is the link to whole podcast if you are interested in listening.


Also, next week Alton will have the three Food Network Star finalists, and the following week (Aug. 16th), he will have the Food Network Star winner on.
