There was Top Chef, The Next Food Network Star, and now The Next Iron Chef. What's a mixologist to do? Enter, On the Rocks: The Search for America’s Top Bartender, remember that casting call? Anyway, the first season aired last...
Without cable in my home, I was sadly unable to catch the latest season of The Next Food Network Star. But thanks to the hilarious re-caps featured on B-Side’s blog, I didn’t miss a beat. From the get go, I had my money on Ms. Debbie Lee because her culinary approach—”Seoul 2 Soul“—was insanely catchy, [...]
Gyenari is that Korean-fusion restaurant in Culver City backed up by Debbie Lee of the Next Food Network Star. The result of two long lost cousins finding each other and opening up a restaurant (true story) and is also one of the very few Korean bbq joints on the westside (the only one if you take out West Hollywood). I've heard of quite a few bloggers liking their happy hour and the food here, so...
Food Network is releasing their first video game, Cook or Be Cooked, which will hit stores on November 3. With more than 30 recipes developed by the expert chefs of the Food Network Kitchens, the game delivers a truly authentic food experience from prep to plate. Throughout the game, players receive tips, feedback and reviews from Food Network's Vice President of Marketing and The Next Food Network...
The other night I turned on the Food Network to find yet another Food Network Challenge with some random chefs facing off for a money prize. While I enjoy reality culinary competitions like the Next Food Network Star or Top Chef , I'm just not interested in watching no-name amateur chefs run around trying to create something. I prefer to watch a professional or celebrity chef in a more educational...
Oh geez. Please tell me I am not standing alone on the blog blunder podium. I just made a huge typing error when commenting on another blog. I'm not talking about transposing a couple of letters. Ooooh nooo, that would be too easy. No, I went for the gusto. I left out a word that completely changes the meaning of what I was ineptly trying to convey. I left out the word “not”, so now my...

If Blogger is correct, this is officially my 1,000th post. (I guess I could click on my archives and count, but I’ll take their word for it.) Yes, I can’t believe it myself. One thousand posts made up of more than 220 restaurant reviews, about 170 recipes, more than 132 trips to stores that I shared, nearly 80 recaps of “Top Chef” and “The Next Food Network Star,”...

My misty Saturday morning breakfast with Food Network's Melissa d'Arabian was quite a treat. It was a perfect cool fall morning in meatpacking NYC: crisp air fresh off an early morning drizzle, damp cobblestone streets, the clinking sound of restaurant coffee cups, a bright cloudy sky and the sound of muted laughter echoing from inside the Standard Grill dining room. And I was lucky enough to sit down...
Filed under: Food/Home/DIY , Industry , OpEd , Reality-Free When you're a cable network and you're only reaching 55 million households and want to reach twice that amount, what do you do? If you're Scripps Networks, you rebrand the channel and give it a new name. That's why Fine Living will become the Cooking Channel in 2010. The way I see this, since Scripps owns the Food Network, the Cooking Channel...
Jeffrey Saad, one of my favorite contestants from last season’s Next Food Network Star, is teaming up with the American Egg Board to promote World Egg Day. I’m always interested in seeing what the Next Food Network Star contestants do once they’re done with the show. Many have wonderful personalities, and are wonderful chefs, so I was excited to see Jeffrey has a new gig. The Good...

Now, along with the celebration of World Egg Day on Oct. 9, America's egg farmers are pleased to announce that Jeffrey will bring...
'The Next Food Network Star' finale: Were you happy with the winner? Sure, Melissa’s a little manic — and grinned like a loon throughout last night’s telecast — but her pilot presentation (the dully dubbed Kitchen Survival Guide, which, granted, was better than Cuisine Copine) was the easiest kind of sell, with an eye on helping stressed-out home cooks shave minutes (and dollars) off their menus without
