Have you caught the new show from the Next Food Network Star winner Melissa d’Arabian? It’s very good. I also liked her final challenge pilot quite a bit, too. Her food tips are amazing. I’ve been a home cook for over 20 years and yet I’m always finding myself learning a few new tips every time she’s on.

Her new show, “Ten Dollar Dinners with Melissa d’Arabian,” is all about making dinner for under ten bucks. Now, I’m pretty frugal and do this probably every single night for my family, but you know what? I …read more

Have you been watching the Next Food Network Star? I have to say, I absolutely love that show. I find the challenges really interesting, and I am fascinated by how each contestant reacts to the situation thrown in front of them.

I’ve watched this show for the last couple seasons, but this year I have to say I actually have really rooted for almost everyone on the show. There were one or two people who were really annoying (like the guy that rolled his eyes at the woman who was a home cook and not a chef) but …read more

This week is the last episode of The Next Food Network star, it’s down to Jeffrey Saad a restauranteur/ food consultant, and Melissa D’Arabian a stay at home mom for the final two after Debbie Lee was eliminated on last weeks show.
I think it’s a close competition between the final two. Jeffrey has the experience, but Melissa has the personality and the spunk. I’m excited to see if the winner has what it takes to be the star of their own show.
My favorite Next Food Network Star winner so far is Guy Fieri, he was my favorite during his season …read more

Are you still following The Next Food Network Star? I’m behind on my updates, it seems like I never get to watch the show on Sunday nights. I’m always catching up when they reshow it later in the week.
If you missed last weeks show, you can catch the highlights here:
The 4 finalists had two contests they had to compete in. One was working in front of the camera and improvising when something goes wrong. The contestants didn’t know they were going to be sabotaged ahead of time.
The contestants also had to develop a new dish using one of the fish …read more

Are you following this season’s Next Food Network Star? I never seem to catch it on Sunday lately, but I usually catch up later in the week when they re-run the episode.
Most of them seemed to struggle this week with the hot peppers. Teddy went home this week, and I have to say that didn’t disappoint me too much after his behavior the week before. I think the judges had just had enough of him. He didn’t do bad in this challenge, so I think it was his overall performance that knocked him out of the competition.
If you missed this …read more

Are you a fan of The Next Food Network Star? I’m behind on checking out this weeks episode. We weren’t home much this weekend, so I didn’t catch the show. I did see that Brett is out, and there’s already some major drama going on.

Check out the scenes for next weeks episode, it looks like things could get interesting.
I can’t wait to catch up on The Next Food Network Star, and check out both this weeks, and next weeks episode!

Adam Gertler, one of the remaining three contestants on last season’s Next Food Network Star, got himself a job at the network anyway despite not being the big winner.
He’ll be hosting “Will Work For Food” which premieres January 19th at 8:30pm EST on Food Network. He’ll be traveling around to “learn every job in the world of food,” and from the promo I just saw it looks like he’ll be scooping ice cream, stuffing sausage, and gathering honey. Thrilling, no?
I can’t say I’m excited about this one; he was the contestant I cared about least of the remaining three and …read more
