I don’t mean the Manhattan/New England one that’s on the website now, and I distinctly remember it using two large (28 ounce) cans of chopped clams.

maybe it was on Throwdown?

I figured Bryce would win; he had a great run. And it's great that there's going to be a second season—Terry Crews is always fantastic.

Feel like the wife and I have caught up on everything new to watch and theres like nothing airing.. is it just HboMax not uploading everything or is there just nothing on ?

At first it seemed like GGG was going strong then it just ended. 100 cooks is... not amazing but that is coming to a close.

We tried that Kitchen Chaos but it's just a (somehow) worse Ridiculousness ..

Context: we've seen every Ramsay Show, most Bobby Flay shows, all Guys shows, Outchef'd, TOC, Foodtruck stuffs, Alex Vs America and a bunch else.

I apologize if this has been discussed, but I am binging this right now and I can’t remember which episode had the egg challenge. I was confused because there were some dishes the judges didn’t taste because of undercooked eggs, but if they are using good eggs they should be safe. A lot of dishes use raw egg, so why can’t they taste undercooked eggs when they were used in a controlled situation?

From the FN site:

Trifecta of Live Fire

Episode 102

There's no sleep for the weary as the eight remaining teams put their live-fire skills to the test. In the Big Burn, the pitmasters have nine hours to create a dish featuring three components, each highlighting a different live-fire cooking technique: underground, on the coals, and hanging above the fire. Then, as the sun rises, the teams face a surprise barbecue breakfast Flash Burn, and one team is eliminated.

I Googled it and nothing came up. Does anyone know if there will be a season 8 of Supermarket Stakeout?

I doubt anyone knows, but if you do, I'd really appreciate it!

And, thank you to all for reading!

Food Network schedule shows premier on 8/25/26 with Chef Alex Stupak.

Well, the end is near... as in tonight. Here's the episode description:

8 Cooks Down to 1

Episode 109

Host Terry Crews welcomes the final 8 home cooks to the finale of the most unpredictable cooking competition. The finalists work to impress judges Alex Guarnaschelli and Nick DiGiovanni over the course of three challenges: breakfast, lunch, and dinner. In the end, only one cook will stand alone on the top of the food world and take home a life-changing amount of money!

A channel (Sweet Escapes) is showing a marathon of all the seasons of Holiday Baking Championship.it started at the beginning with a host I didn’t know.

I love watching the old shows and it makes me sad that they changed so much on the new ones. Then they didn’t have Spring or Summer this year.

Things change, but this would have been one to leave alone.

I’ve watched bbq and smoking shows for a long time. It’s awesome to see Andrew Zimmern bring in Moe Cason & Ernest Servantes as judges in this new show.

This is Esther Choi’s YouTube Series that Food Network brought to TV.

This week Esther explores Korean Street Food Classics! She will make Korean Fried Chicken and Pickled Yuja Daikon.

Watch on Food Network at 12 Noon today EST then stay tuned for an encore episode of Nick’s Kitchen.

I’m in Vegas for a brief trip and it turned out Four Kegs, DDD s1e2, was relatively close to the hotel, so we tried it.

The place definitely looks a bit dodgy. The inside especially made this place more on the dive end of the DDD spectrum with a smoke-filled bar on one side with harsh lighting and worn uncomfortable chairs in the restaurant side….

However, the Stromboli (Hawaiian with no jalapeños) was probably the best one I’ve ever had.

The dough the waitress told us is made daily and was crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside with a beautiful marinara.

Just finished TOC VII. I’ve seen Bryan Voltaggio in all his never-the-bride finals and I’m actually so glad he won TOC VII! His baby seal laugh and dad jokes are a gem. I know compared to Michael he can seem bland but his heart does really seem to be in such a genuine place. The Volt Brothers are quirky and intense and just so creative — never imagined I’d root for Bryan as much as I am but that was a treat honestly. Finally the bride!

I've caught a couple seasons of this on Pluto TV over the past month and I'm genuinely baffled as to who the target audience is supposed to be. Between the ridiculous sound effects, cheesy graphics and animation, absurd cutaways, a logo that looks like it was made with mid-90s WordArt, and 50% of each show being confessionals from IRL cartoon characters shouting at the screen while making "funny" faces I honestly can't wrap my head around this show. It feels like long-form Tik Toks edited for young Gen Z or Gen Alpha. I understand I'm clearly not the target demo for this, but I'm curious who it's supposed to be catering to. Also I think it's pretty insane that they make these cooking noobs use mandolines without requiring they use a guard - that's literally insane.

I am reading that the newest Guy's Grocery Games show is available for streaming the next day on HBO Max. But for two weeks now, I have been unable to find it. Has anyone else had this trouble?

I’m in South Dakota for a conference. A group of us went to Bokujō Ramen for dinner. Here is our review.

It’s located just off the strip, but not so far that it’s inconvenient. It seemed to be filled with locals, not tourists.

It’s blasted hot here right now, temps around 100°, and the AC couldn’t keep up with the sun setting right into the windows there. But, once we acclimated, it was fine.

The staff was top notch. We felt welcome instantly. It’s very small inside, but who sits and chit chats over ramen?

There was interesting decor, not over the top celebrity, just enough to say, “yes, this local man has a relationship with Food Network, but really, he’s just a man with nationally known talent.”

Going in, I was geeked, and hoped to meet Justin. As I observed all that was going on, my mindset shifted to “he’s just like everyone else, and he deserves his privacy.”
I asked, and was told that he was around the corner at jazz night. I decided not to interrupt him.

The food was delicious. One of our group was so impressed with it, she ate all of it and said she never overeats. She said she couldn’t stop eating. :)

I split the GF option with another person who can’t have gluten, and we both ate all of it. It was delicious and renewed our want for ramen. Rice noodles for the win!

The price was what we expected. We have zero regrets, and decided we will door dash it for lunch tomorrow.

Thanks Justin!

How is Kareem making it past the first week? What the heck is this???

Anyone know where I can watch this episode. It only aired once then Food Network scrubbed it.

I really wanted to like this show because I literally learned how to cook from the Food Network when it started back in the late 90’s. I don’t know that Nick brings a lot to the table. His personality is meh.
They cut way too many people at once so you really don’t get a chance to get to know any of the contestants. 100 was way too many to start with. A few years ago there were some competition shows featuring home cooks teaming up with chefs. (Not Worst Cooks!) Alex Guarnicelli was one of the chefs. I enjoyed that show.
And Terry Crews was not a good choice for a food competition show. There are far more people in the food world they could have gotten. Let him stick to AGT.
