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.
