Archive for Next Food Network Star
Last week it was all about the Top Chef; this week it’s onto the Food Network version – Next Food Network Star. Is anyone watching this and, if so, what are your thoughts so far?
Personally, I’ve approached it with a tinge of bitterness since my fave chef blogger, Bren of Flanboyant Eats didn’t make the final cut. This season, IMO, has had too much drama and way too much crying. However, I am excited to see John Besh & Marcus Samuelsson as part of the dinner party attendees for next week’s episode. I have to say this much, I knew something was up when I saw Marcus at the SOBE Food & Wine Festival with Food Network peeps in attendance.
I wonder – is he headed over to Food Network and departing BET?
One of the things I look forward to every week is the commentary after this week’s Next Food Network Star on FNDish from Amateur Gourmet’s Adam and FN’s own Sunny Anderson (joined by her bro, Drew, who seems to favor Ms. Lisa). Sunny had some great tips re: poaching eggs (something that I have YET to master) and some insight on what really should have went down. They should let Adam and Sunny judge on of the eps next season (just my opinion).
And, yes, for now, my vote is for Philly fave, Aaron (and shush – don’t call me biased but yes, I think he can cook like a fiend).
Check out their commentary below.
The Amateur Gourmet’s Adam Roberts and FN Star Sunny Anderson have some great commentary on last night’s episode.
Sunny, chica – get out of my head. Last night I dubbed Lisa “Posh” and leave it to you to call out “The Neck” done Nipa Style. I will say this, I liked everyone’s recaps, both on FN Dish and on the blogs, the most. And, of course, I got a kick out of the guest judges, especially Morimoto & Giada.
What did you think of last night’s episode? Did you watch?
