Food Network Star season 8 winner Justin Warner got married today to his fiance Brooke Sweeten. Fellow Food Network Star contestant Martie Duncan was there and helped with the
planning of the wedding. Also Food Network
Sweet Genius Ron Ben-Israel made the couple's wedding cake.
The photo to the right of Justin and his bride was posted on Twitter and the other photos are from Justin and Brooke's Instagram. I am not sure if there is any significance of the June 29th date, but a wedding on a Monday isn't too common. This is the second
Food Network Star wedding in the past two weeks with
Damaris Phillips getting married.
Congrats to Justin and Brooke!
Awww, so happy for them both! Hope they have many wonderful years together.
ReplyDeleteI wonder whether Dom would do better if he were on a show in which he was partnered with another chef and could converse more freely with his partner. Maybe it would make him less aware of the camera and ease his nerves.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I like Dom, and he showed in that one segment with a visiting Judge that he can be spontaneous and charming. Think he may be too rehearsed and freezes in front of the camera sometimes.
ReplyDeleteShe's cute, but that nose ring.....not so much
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Eddie jumped in and cut Alex off. As good a cook as Alex is, he's entirely too long-winded.
ReplyDeleteCongrats, I am surprised he is straight.
ReplyDeleteI always think about pulling Oxen around when I see those.
ReplyDeleteGiada seems to alternate between displaying her boobs and dressing like a preteen. Neither is an appropriate look or makes me want to see her as a person with some degree of authority.
ReplyDeleteNow Guy describes every food the same way. He just lists what is Creamy, spicy, salty, sweet, crunchy, etc.
ReplyDeleteWith his usual efficiency, Matt has fixed the error.
ReplyDeleteSpice Island are the dollar store spices too,
ReplyDeleteI think they're hoping for hipster millennials, but I don't think they'd flock to FN.
ReplyDeleteExactly.
ReplyDeleteI once had to do a presentation with a guy that just messed up his knee and was on a whole lot of pain killers. He kept going on and on really slowly, I was doing the watch pointing thing and kept kind of edging over to him. It is not a good feeling, but it was funny at the same time.
ReplyDeleteYou can't just call yourself The Sandwich King anyway.
ReplyDeleteI can just imagine!
ReplyDeleteI remember he and his girlfriend at the time (not his current wife) participated in an obscure Food Network show called 24-Hour Restaurant Battle a few years ago - and won. The show is no more and the restaurant never materialized.
ReplyDeleteThey look very happy. I hope they have many great years together.
ReplyDelete....as compared to the hosts of the NFNS...
ReplyDeleteI don't think millennials want to claim him for their own.
ReplyDeleteWow, that sounds like a fun show. I would have watched it at least once. Too bad it's gone already.
ReplyDeleteI felt bad for Eddie.
ReplyDeleteHe has my condolences
ReplyDeleteNo, they don't. But FN probably thinks Matthew is cutting edge.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of former winner's who never made it on FN, what's Lenny been up to?!?!?!?
ReplyDeleteJustin looks even Marcel-ier than ever
ReplyDeleteprolly not getting married...
ReplyDeleteGF's favorite adjective is "tender". Pay attention to what he says about the food on DDD...if "tender" is even remotely relevant, he'll say it.
ReplyDeleteI do not enjoy Giada's boobs as much as others may, but the comments about them are awfully funny. So I begrudgingly have to agree, they "girls" should continue to be mentors along with Bobby and Giada.
ReplyDeleteMaybe getting his toilet snaked.
ReplyDeleteWow, he does!
ReplyDeleteOr snaking somebody else's toilet.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe they could film a show where he's asleep during it. He'd be nice and relaxed that way. The Sleepy Chef. Sleeping Dude-y.
ReplyDeleteMaybe putting out a new line of Advent calendars for dummies.
ReplyDeleteHow they get paid, they know most people DVR shows and fast forward through commercial breaks
ReplyDeleteAll of the cooking shows on these networks have thus far avoided the temptation of dabbling in product placement. After all, in the first half of the year, Food Network pulled in $283.2 million in advertising while HGTV earned $300.2 million in the same time period, according to Kantar Media.
It's too obvious, but I get get why they need to do it(pays the bills and most people skip/ignore regular commercials)
ReplyDeleteWouldn't President be a step down from King? Should be Sandwich Emperor
ReplyDeleteYeah I guess he thought he could overcome it, but what I find annoying is when the judges tell someone to be themselves and then criticize them when they are.
ReplyDeleteich bin der Sandwich Fuehrer!
ReplyDeleteThe show was just OK. It had a weird low budget vibe to it. It's basically just a duller version of Top Chef's Restaurant Wars with a $10k prize. The awful Food Court Wars is the exact same concept except it's set in a Mall for some odd reason. Aren't Malls a dying entity?
ReplyDeleteLOL, this made me laugh!
ReplyDeleteNo no, Marcel looks Justiny.
ReplyDeleteDid they wear the same lipstick?
ReplyDeleteTrue, but they still air the episodes.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't aware that malls are a dying entity. Then again, I rarely go. I watching Food Court Wars. It wasn't my favourite show, but it was entertaining while it lasted.
ReplyDeleteI get that they need to make money..It was just SO heavy handed!
ReplyDeleteSo was Justin...and look how well that turned out
ReplyDeleteJustin actually is cutting edge, if you know anything about his restaurant and what he does there; Matthew is all gestures and wannabe hipster soundbites. And Justin's actual approach to food is why FN couldn't figure out what to do with him.
ReplyDeleteIt's gotten even heavier handed on Guy's Grocery Games.
ReplyDeleteMaybe. But the point is that the average viewer has an idea of what tender means, and Alex needs to either use a more generally accessible vocabulary or explain the less familiar stuff.
ReplyDeleteOr Sandwich God.
ReplyDeleteAfter all, if Bal Arneson can be the Spice Goddess …
Don't get me wrong, I liked Justin. But FN never did figure out what to do with him. Which is a shame.
ReplyDeleteI agree they could do better to not make it so obvious.but the things that annoy me in shows is when they try to push(subtlety or not so subtlety) a social or political agenda. I know the company that owns FN is ultra-Liberal(they fired brothers from HGTV(which they also own) for being Christian and vocaling supporting traditional marriage). I just want wish they would be more neutral about it
ReplyDeleteAre there no re-runs?
ReplyDeleteSometimes I wonder how Lenny must feel on a daily basis knowing that he fucked up so badly.
ReplyDeleteMy complaints too. This show is just coming off more and more like a stereotypical reality show. AND they were really heavy on sound effects this episode. Every couple of seconds they were playing one. Did anyone else notice? They probably do this every episode but I really noticed it in this one.
ReplyDeleteIt's strange because he does well in the interviews that they intersperse in the show. I guess it's just the intimidation of being up in front of Bobby and Giada? Or just a physical audience in general? I don't know. I feel like he's the everyman in this competition in that any regular person would struggle with being on the spot light frequently. So I'm kind of rooting for him in that sense.
ReplyDeleteWas that the one with a wall dividing the 2 teams in a big room? Where there was a caveman-themed restuarant where they sat on stumps and ate with their hands?
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen any.
ReplyDeleteUm... no. What were you watching? LOL!
ReplyDeleteWhy is Giada wearing Jades outfit?
ReplyDeleteNo kidding. She just looked ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteActually, yes it was. They divide the room in two, get some money for food and decor and then one person is in the kitchen while their partner handles the dining room. They both get maybe one or two staff.
ReplyDeleteThe caveman-concept guys actually did a restaurant that way afterward. Robert Irvine tried to save it on RI.
I think he's a lesbian, like Eddie Izzard. :p
