It was announced today that the Food Network has renewed The Kitchen for a 2nd season, which means an additional 13 episodes will be filmed.  The Kitchen has had solid ratings in the Saturday morning at 11am time slot with over 1 million viewers for each episode that has aired up until now.

TheWrap reported the renewal, and Bob Tuschman was quoted as saying:

"We can’t wait to get back into ‘The Kitchen’ for a second helping of food, fun and conversation.  The talented cast and casual, engaging format have struck a chord with our audience, and we are looking forward to cooking up more episodes for fans to enjoy."

This shouldn't come as a surprise to many with the ratings the show was pulling in.  Sunny Anderson, Katie Lee, Jeff Mauro, Marcela Valladolid and Geoffrey Zakarian will remain co-hosts of the show..  This may disappoint some people judging by the comments of a previous post on The Kitchen.  Many people have had complaints about Katie Lee.

As of right now, it is not known when the 2nd season will premiere, but it will probably not be too long after the first season.
