The Food Network announced that Justin Warner will be getting a web series in 2015, and that the viewers will get to choose the concept between three pilots that were filmed. Justin was the winner of season 8 of Food Network Star, and received a 1-hour special on the Food Network after winning. He has also appeared on multiple shows as a judge and he blogs about Food Network Star episodes on the Food Network site.Here are the three concepts of each of his pilot videos:
- The first concept is called Warner's Walk-In where Justin explores trending ingredients and makes something with them.
- The second concept is called Tomorrow's Eats with Justin Warner where Justin looks at new and trending restaurant concepts.
- The third concept is called Foodie Call with Justin Warner and he has Jean Grae, a hip-hop artist on with him. Jean brings him random ingredients, and he puts them together to make a dish.
The videos of each pilot is below if you want to watch, and you can also vote at the Food Network site:
Concept 1:
Concept 2:
Concept 3:
You can vote on which one of these pilots you would most like to see turned into a web series on the Food Network site.
Jeez, he got the shaft, and it will always be a mystery why. All three concepts sound interesting. I guess we'll take what we can get. His audience is more web-oriented, anyway.
ReplyDeleteconcept 2 is the best of the bunch.....
ReplyDeleteBut a webisode like the kid's shows winners?
He must have p***ed in someone's Wheaties at FN.
ReplyDeleteHe was the first NFNS to get the shaft......you know who was the second.
ReplyDeleteFN would have to pay me by the minute to get me to watch anything with that self-absorbed wanna be hipster jerk. I'd watch Robert Irvine first and I loathe Robert Irvine.
ReplyDeleteI don't think any of the concepts are worthwhile. I wonder how many people are going to tune into a web based series. I might, if I were interested in the concept or the host. In this case, I am interested in neither.

ReplyDeleteThis site is for talking about Food Network shows, not for kissing any butts.
ReplyDeleteYou must have never worked in a grocery store. The stories I could tell....
ReplyDeleteI think I'm more shocked State Insepctions actually did their job, all these Restaurant, Bar, Hotel reality shows with owners with horrendous standards made me wonder if State Inspectors just collect a check and not actually inspect or were they paid off by the owners to look the other way
ReplyDeleteJustin is the Chuck Cunningham and Judy Winslow of Food Network
ReplyDeleteNo doubt your computer is more than happy to capitalize words that begin sentences. Throw in some punctuation for a nice touch. It's not a new concept.
ReplyDeleteI have zero interest in watching anything Justin W.
ReplyDeleteTechnically I capitalized the first word of my comment. And don't try and be grammar police. There is punctuation in my comment. Maybe you didn't look.
ReplyDeleteRestaurant Impossible is a great show. Y'all are haters on Robert Irvine because you can't do what him and his team does.
ReplyDeleteHow about a show where he doesn't come off as a arrogant, self-important, jack_ss? In all honesty, I agree with Lucy622, you couldn't pay me enough money to watch this annoying jerk. Maybe they should scrap all three ideas and give someone like Marcel Vigneron, who comes across as an actually likable person, the show instead.
ReplyDeleteThe second one got shafted by his own doing
ReplyDeleteNot surprising. No, I've never worked in a grocery store. I may just stop eating altogether. People are gross.
ReplyDeleteIt was a great show. That's why so many of us here are disappointed with what it has become.
ReplyDeleteUsually not too bright an idea to come to a comment board and start insulting other posters. It also makes you come across as a fan boy. Not a good thing.
ReplyDeleteCornfucius say, "One who rags on others, should not complain when ragged on himself."
ReplyDeleteYou don't learn, do you.
ReplyDeleteWent on their FB page, she (Grace) was saying that we all eat in rat infested places, and that we are unaware to rat issues in places. Uh, no, if a place is clean your not going to get rats or anything else in your place, unless there is a huge gaping hole, and you don't do anything about it. Oh, how I love people and how they blame everything else for their problems.
ReplyDeleteWhat's a rat to do??? A rat has to eat too!!!
ReplyDeleteSure.....whatever you say.................
ReplyDeleteWait...they have those???!!!????????
ReplyDeleteYou DO realize this is NOT the Food Network site right?
ReplyDeleteThis is for actual discussing of the shows without censorship.
LOL! I doubt they really exist.
ReplyDeleteUnless your comment is a single sentence, you need to hit that Caps key every time you start a new statement. And evidently, your question mark, comma, and apostrophe keys aren't working.
ReplyDelete"He," not "him." Subjective case, if you know what that is.
ReplyDelete"Justin & Lenny's Excellent Adventure"
ReplyDeleteThey both get "trending" new ingredients and each make a dish with them. Various FN luminaries judge the results, a la Chopped
Taking a break from talking about how all black and Mexican people are filthy animals that are all on welfare KKK Jerry?
ReplyDeletePlaces in New Orleans for example all pretty much have rats, same with lower story NYC places.
ReplyDeleteRats can chew through just about anything, even concrete.
The official food network boards are the place to go if you just want to kiss his butt. People can come here and not be banned for making any negative comment.
ReplyDeleteDo not start a sentence with "And".
ReplyDeleteOr a food processing plant, or on a farm!
ReplyDeleteActually, that can be done if done sparingly and with knowledge aforethought. In fact, it's one of Bri-Bri's non-errors.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, her second comment is missing a comma and an article.
Visited the place prior to the show and the food sucked . went again with the exception of ther soup which they credited to Mr. Irvine the food still sucked. how does one mess up Chicken Parm ?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads-up. I'll watch whichever one gets "picked by the public" (ha-ha). I like Justin. Better a web series on the FN website than banishment to the Cooking Channel gulag. Having someone like Justin (who I guess is considered "edgy" because he's young) exploring food trends is a good idea for a web series, which ostensibly can be produced in a more timely manner.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I've been able to piece together from various media sources and Justin's own comments, Justin wanted a primetime slot for his show. FN apparently did not want to give a primetime slot to his concept for a full 6 episode season and offered him either the standard 6 episode "season" in the usual Saturday or Sunday morning slot given to NFNS winners or a primetime pilot with the ratings for the pilot determining whether he'd be given a primetime series. It looks like the ratings for his pilot didn't make the grade. I think FN had no intention of giving Justin a primetime slot for his concept. They would have tried to make him conform to their cookie-cutter template for food shows. Considering that primetime on FN is often filled with reruns of Triple D, that really makes me shake my head.
ReplyDeleteOh, I understand fully but to sit there, and say that EVERY place is a rat infested hole isn't right. Most places at least KNOW when they have rats and other rodents in their place of business and get that problem secured as fast as possible.
ReplyDeleteI was just about to say the same thing. I was watching some of the blowup episode last night before heading off to bed, it did not hold my attention for long. I do not appreciate hearing people screaming and yelling throughout a whole show.
ReplyDeleteI saw that too. If I wanted to watch drama, I'd tune into Jerry Springer.
ReplyDeleteEven a Waffle House Gift Card would work! hahaha
