This show was not on the original list of new shows set to appear on the network this year, and it is also not known yet who the celebrity chef(s) will be. When more details become available, there will be an update here.
Paula Deen was shopping this show back in 2012, and she was supposed to host it. She was teamed with Zodiac production company, and now it appears that Relativity Television is producing it, so this might have changed hands after Paula Deen's racism scandal.
Interesting seeing as how Bravo will soon be airing Top Chef: Duels, with former TC and TC Masters competing head to head.
ReplyDeleteSeems FN would run short of ideas if Bravo didn't get there first.
I was going to say that this sounds like FN's version of Top Chef. I wonder who will host it. If it's someone with industry credibility, it might be a big success. If it's someone like Robert Irvine, it will not.
ReplyDeleteNot only would they run short of ideas if Bravo didn't put the show out first, but then FN flogs it to death by changing up a decent show slightly and making it into 2 or 3 other shows just like it. I'd love a really new show that didn't involve games and had a new to FN host!
ReplyDelete"Food Network Stable"....well put☺! Unfortunately them ole mares done be road hard and put away wet. They be gittin long in the tooth. FN keeps showin the same ole nags in their rodeo. Time for some new ponies.

ReplyDeleteThis sounds exactly like NBC's new show "Food Fighters" with executive chefs instead of home cooks.
