My favorite baking competition is back, with Nailed It dropping a fourth season on Netflix with a first-half filled with Shakespearean "comedy of horrors" and abstract representations of what not to do when baking. The new season is packed with lots of energy and innovation and not the good kind that inspires people but rather […]
A very exciting finale of Food Network's Tournament of Champions, where the randomizer proved a brutal punisher by pairing some truly unconventional items together. The competition started with ten men and six women, and the best-of-the-best remained to go head-to-head. For the West Coast, we had Brooke Williamson vs Antonia Lofaso; and for the East […]
Let's give it up to the ladies on this week's edition of Food Network's Tournament of Champions, as they wiped their mixing bowls clean with the other contestants. So maybe I'm being a little "girl power" subjective here. The star chefs really stepped it up this week and showed the "new kids on the block" […]
This week on Food Network's Tournament of Champions, the underdogs continue to kick some serious butt. Clearly just because they don't have as many wins under their belt doesn't mean they are not rockstars in the kitchen. With the exception of my pick to win the entire competition Antonia Laofaso the newer chefs are scoring […]
Just when I thought Food Network couldn't get any better with their shows, Tournament of Champions arrived. The contestants alone are worth the watch, to actually have some of the biggest names compete in such an ego demeaning way is mind blowing. Many of the All Stars know each other, have judged each other, and […]
So sad to review the final episode of Food Network's Worst Cooks in America, having genuinely enjoyed the season and of course the dynamic between hosts Alton Brown and Anne Burrell. Brown taking the prize for most eccentric, and frightening judge Worst Cooks has ever seen – the Blue Team will surely be having nightmares […]
This week on Food Network's Worst Cooks in America, "High Steaks" found the remaining four recruits competed for a spot in the finale, and the remaining two players were not a surprise, although they came a long way, they have consistently taken the win in the Main Dish challenge. No game to start things off, […]
Having to be at work at 5 a.m. to wait like cattle for a parking spot renewal, so how did I pass the time? Food Network's Worst Cooks in America – and to be completely honest, given the hour and lack of sleep for the first 25 min, I thought I was hallucinating…was Alton Brown smiling? […]
This week's episode of Food Network's Worst Cooks in America was anything but "Simple Yet Sophisticated". The recruits "tilted the world" while attempting to make crepes – f you ever wanted to see a bunch of adults in a kitchen making bizarre full body motions, watch this episode. Hosts Anne Burrell and Alton Brown humiliated […]
In this week's horrifying episode of Food Network's Worst Cooks in America, recruits were pretty much traumatized by hosts Anne Burrell and Alton Brown – surprised no one lost consciousness or threw up. Brown was like a shark navigating the kitchen and the recruits could almost hear the theme song from Jaws playing. Brown even […]
In this week exciting episode of Food Network's Worst Cooks in America recruits got a chance to flex their muscles in salad trivia and throw food at a team mate, not a bad way to start. It seems that some of the recruits either went home and brushed up on their cooking skills or got […]
Hosts Anne Burrell and Alton Brown welcome 16 new disaster chefs to the gauntlet of Food Network's Worst Cooks in America, and they are absolutely horrible; each one with their own food poisoning or kitchen burn down story to tell, these folks appear to be hopeless. This season the contestants will be guided by Burrell […]
Food Network is set to premiere the 18th season of Worst Cooks in America on January 5, focusing on 16 contestants with zero culinary skills. In fact, if you've watched previous seasons then you know most of them act like they've been cursed with feet for hands in the kitchen. Always reminds me of a […]
In an epic, jolly finale to Food Network's Holiday Wars, artists brought mind blowing cake and sugar work, well at least in round two, round one kind of felt like they played it just a little too safe. Ginger Snappers and Bah Hum Bakers competed to wow the judges by giving the abdominal snowman a […]
This week on Food Network's Holiday Wars, host Jonathan Bennett and judges Shinmin Li and Jason Smith tasked the competitors to lock up the Christmas gifts and provide Santa with a side hustle post-holiday season. Children love to go sneaking around in the middle of the night looking for their gifts, from closets, to cupboards, to […]
This week on Food Network's Holiday Wars, "The Spirit of Christmas" continues with teams working seamlessly like little elves and wowing judges Shinmin Li and Jason Smith with their immaculate cake and sugar work. Host Jonathan Bennett had fun playing dress up, and wrapping gifts while tasking the remaining four teams to create Santa's perfect […]
Host Jonathan Bennett and judges Shinmin Li and Jason Smith are back on Food Network with new series Holiday Wars and "Stealing the Naughty List" epitomized the holidays. This is exactly what I want to see out of a baking competition to put me in the Christmas spirit. The set decorations alone had my inner […]
This week on Food Network's Holiday Baking Championship, we got to see host Jesse Palmer strip (yes, I said strip) and challenge the remaining six contestants to repurpose the most delicious (in my opinion) holiday sweet bread "Panettone" – something my family has every Christmas. I was very excited to see how the competitors would […]
This week on the holiday spinoff Sleighed It!, Netflix's Nailed It! host-comedian Nicole Byer partners up with Sugar Rush Christmas host Hunter March to go against world renowned pastry chef Adriano Zumbo. Finally, we get to see Nicole get in the kitchen, just how much has co-host Jacques Torres taught her? Apparently, a lot… "Sleighed It!" Episode […]
This week on a disastrous, hedonistic new episode of online holiday spinoff Sleighed It!, Netflix's Nailed It! host-comedian Nicole Byer and co-host Jacques Torres invited Let It Snow stars Kiernan Shipka, Isabela Merced, and Jacob Batalon to obliterate the Nailed It! kitchen and give the judges their "best" gingerbread waffle houses. Don't believe me? Check it out for yourselves […]
