Food Network News - Shows, Castings, Etc.

Here is some recent news involving some of the Food Network shows:

  • The Food Network recently ordered 26 more episodes of Mystery Diners (Hollywood Reporter). The show averages over a million viewers per episode, so I guess someone is watching it.  Just not me or most of the people who don't like where the network is going.
  • For the next season of Worst Cooks In America, it looks like it will be Anne Burrell going against Bobby Flay again as Anne posted a photo of both of them at a recent casting (Twitter).
  • Food Court Wars is coming back for another season and is currently casting (more info below).
 
Here are some upcoming shows that are casting if you are interested on being on the Food Network.  Just know that we will probably complain about you or the show you are on.

  • Food Network Star Season 10 is casting and has open casting calls coming up in San Antonio, San Francisco, Providence, Los Angeles, New Orleans, and Chicago.  You can also apply online and submit a video (Food Network Star Casting).
