FOX Sneaks in One Last Kitchen Nightmare
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, FOX, Hell’s Kitchen, Gossip, Renewals,
The second season of the American version of Kitchen Nightmares began last September, and evidently finished up just last night. Though the show disappeared from the FOX schedule on November 20, it returned - briefly - for one last hurrah.
And for those of you who missed the Kitchen Nightmares finale, it’ll no doubt be reappearing on FOX’s reality channel, so never fear. The episode was touted as the last of the second season and the show does not reappear on the schedule this year, but there could be one unaired episode on the season. Some listings show this episode as the last, rather than the one touted as the last.
Make sense? Even if it doesn’t, this odd reappearance and disappearance is confusing enough. But just the same, Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares have ended this season. There are many more awaiting him in the next, however. FOX is even now casting for the third season of the show, which bodes well for Ramsay fans.
The show may be over for the year, but the chef still has a lot more reality left in him. Gordon Ramsay will only be missing from the FOX line up for two weeks, as he’s slated to return in the fifth season of Hell’s Kitchen. The premiere will air January 29th, and it’s unlikely this show will experience the same programming gap.

Food Network Star in the Making: Chef Jeff Project
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Reality, Cable, Editorial,
I’ll admit it - I gave a little eye-roll when I saw the first promo. Chef in the kitchen mentors six young ‘uns, talking about a “life-changing experience.” Sounds like the usual reality show hype, right? But after the fourth promo, my appetite was whet. So I set the DVR. And I watched the Chef Jeff Project. It’s about to become the biggest thing on the entire Food Network - it’s a good idea to start paying attention now.
Jeff Henderson, one-time guest on Good Morning America and author of “Chef Jeff Cooks,” is the driving force behind the Project. He’s definitely got the kitchen cred - he’s served as executive chef to both the Café Bellagio and Caesar’s Palace, and now owns the up-and-coming Posh Urban Cuisine. But Chef Jeff isn’t your average culinary connoisseur, because he’s also got the street cred.
Jeff Henderson spent almost ten years behind bars for pushing cocaine in and around his hometown, South Central L.A. For his inspiring Project, Henderson installed six inner-city kids into his upscale catering business, hiring them on as employees.

E3 2008: Cooking Mama World Kitchen Wii Preview
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: High Score, Short Bytes, Features, Home Entertainment, Podcasts, Software, Video Games, Videocasts, Videos,
For those of you out there who are fans of the Cooking Mama series of games for the Nintendo DS and Wii, you may be delighted to know that Majesco is about ready to spring the second installment of the Wii portion of the series on you, coming this October. We were able to get a quick demo of the game during E3 2008, and immediately realized that the successor to the original seems to be a better game all around. Specifically, a lot of the frustrating actions you needed to do in the original are replaced by very intuitive Wii Remote actions that anyone can pull off. Also, if you mess up, you aren’t pretty much eliminated like you were the first time around. A few new game modes round things out. Hit the video for all the details, and prepare yourself for more cartoony kitchen battles.
Top Chef Appeals to Youth
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Food & Home, Kids, Prime Time, Reality, Bravo, Cable, Editorial, News,
So how has Bravo chosen to fill their upcoming Project Runway void? By strangely choosing to expand into the kids’ market.
The cable network has just announced plans to develop a spinoff of its popular cooking show, Top Chef. Sometime in the future, followers of the channel will be assaulted with a fresh-faced version of the reality hit. With Top Chef Junior, Bravo aims to “teach and test the skills of younger aspiring chefs and appeal to the whole family.”

TV Chef Brings London to L.A.
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, FOX, Hell’s Kitchen, Gossip,
Gordon Ramsay, star of Hell’s Kitchen and Kitchen Nightmares (both on FOX, one also on the BBC) opened his new restaurant, The London, last week. The restaurant is the impetus behind the fourth season of Hell’s Kitchen - the winner of the show will become the senior sous-chef of the high-brow eatery.
Jeff Probst (host of Survivor), Khloe Kardashian and David Beckham were among the celebrity guests in attend Hell’s Kitchen is famously located near Las Vegas…so why didn’t Ramsay open up there? “I don’t want to play my card in Las Vegas. It’s materialistic. Here, it’s proper. I’m very happy to be here. Everything is in abundance in California.”
This season’s winner of Hell’s Kitchen will not only gain the coveted job, but a $250,000 annual salary to go along with it. The finale will air July 8…until then, the winner remains out of The London’s kitchen.

Grill TEK 6-in-1 Multi-Tool
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Smart Home, Misc. Tech,
Dad’s Day is just around the corner, so consider Griller’s 6-in-1 Multi-Tool. The gadget has an electronic timer with alarm, a digital clock, a knife, a bottle opener, an LED to test the doneness and, get this, a built-in whistle for calling everyone to the table if they cannot smell the charred beast themselves. The Grill TEK runs on 3 included button cell batteries and clips to a belt or lanyard (also included.) At a price of $19.95, it might at least hint around that having someone else tend the cooking is a good thing.

Tuesday Night Treats: Hell’s Kitchen Premiere
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, FOX, Hell’s Kitchen, Editorial,
As Idol ended and Hell’s Kitchen began, I realized that Tuesday night just became my favorite evening for TV. Two saucy Brits, two great hours of entertainment. With Gordon Ramsay now following Simon Cowell, we have just been treated to one of the better programming ploys FOX has ever tried. But was the Hell’s Kitchen premiere worth all the hype?
FOX promised viewers, during another American Idol commercial break, that the first ten minutes of Hell’s Kitchen would be a can’t-miss event. I think that might have been a little strong, considering much of the first few minutes of the show were swamped by clips of Gordon Ramsay screaming at contestants from last season and this upcoming season. Don’t get me wrong - I love listening to Ramsay scream, but you’re not going to blow my mind with two minutes of edited promo footage. Finally, it was time to get to the meat of the premiere.

Hell’s Kitchen: The First Fifteen
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, FOX, Hell’s Kitchen, Gossip,
For the fourth season of Hell’s Kitchen, the stakes are higher, the competition is tougher, and the big news of the season premiere is that world-class chef Gordon Ramsay will get literally sick when sampling one of the dishes.
This year’s competition features fifteen would-be chefs, instead of twelve, fresh blood that’s been added possibly because this year’s prize is the biggest one yet. The winner of Hell’s Kitchen this season won’t get to go work in any high-class restaurant…they’ll be going to work in one of Ramsay’s own high-class restaurants. So, who are these lucky (or not so lucky) cooks?

Hot Summer Series Gets a Spring Run
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, FOX, Hell’s Kitchen, Gossip,
Hell’s Kitchen fans no longer have to wait for rising temperatures to enjoy Gordon Ramsay’s fire - this summer sensation has been bumped up to spring. But before we move on to a whole new crop of competitors, let’s not forget the ones we loved from last summer.
In a recent Access Hollywood interview, Gordon Ramsay gave the dish on the fate of some of our faves and even dropped a few hints about the sizzling new scenes yet to come. Last season’s Julia caught attention early for her determination and heart-wrenching elimination, where Ramsay told her he wanted to send her to culinary school for formal training, an offer not given to any other HK competitor. Ramsay called the former Waffle House chef an “amazing lady, extraordinary talent,” and warns “don’t think you’ve seen the last of this lady.” Julia did in fact go to culinary school, and Ramsay has promised that she’ll be back, though “not too sure where she’s going to pop up.” He still keeps in touch with her, and almost all the contestants of the show.

The End of Emeril Lagasse?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Food & Home, Reality, Cable, News,
The Food Network was hardly more than a blip on cable when it began in 1993, with chefs like Bobby Flay, Mario Batali and Emeril Lagasse rounding out the programming. Batali and the network have since parted ways, and now Emeril Live is coming to the end of its reign.
Live, which began 10 years ago, quickly brought attention to the little-known network and turned the host into a household name. Although the show stops production on December 11, 2007, Lagasse will still be part of the Food Network family. The Essence of Emeril will continue to air and while the chef himself - who’s still working on new ideas - will remain on hand to take part in food-related specials and shows.
