From New York magazine’s Grub Street blog: (www.nymag.com). The Food
Network has sent us its latest lineup, and there a couple of newcomers:
Chopped, hosted by Ted Allen, challenges four up-and-coming chefs to
turn a selection of everyday ingredients into an extraordinary
three-course meal. After each course, a contestant gets chopped‚ until
the last man or woman left standing claims victory. Guest judges
include Alex Guarnaschelli, Aaron Sanchez, and Geoffrey Zakarian. Eat
Me Daily has a promo clip and it looks a lot like Top Chef and, for
that matter, Marco Pierre White's upcoming Chopping Block. It's no
wonder FN is rolling out a Top Chef knockoff since, according to the
Live Feed, 2.7 million viewers caught the premiere last week (up 19
percent from last season). But what could be the inspiration behind
Will Work for Food, hosted by Adam Gertler of The Next Food Network
Star? The series exposes Adam to the world of little-known food jobs?
Whether taking honey from three million bees, sculpting ice with a
chain saw, foraging for truffles, or digging a wine cave, Adam will do
anything in the name of food.
