In a deal between
Fox and star chef
Gordon Ramsay, the chef has signed on for at least two more seasons of
Hell's Kitchen and
Kitchen Nightmares, a live cooking special, and — get this — yet another series.
Ramsay's third show will be based on his current British series Man Camp, a sort of
boot camp for men, who are put through physical and intellectual challenges.
The live cooking special will encourage "young, vibrant, and tenacious" viewers to cook a meal with the chef at home.
The new season of the
Martha Stewart Show debuts today and besides proclaiming to be her "biggest" season yet, Martha has invited two prominent food bloggers to participate in Wednesday's program.
Smitten Kitchen's Deb Perelman and
Matt Bites' Matt Armendariz will sit down with Martha to discuss their interesting lives as food bloggers.
Always one to keep up with the current trends, it's no surprise that Martha would invite these prolific, popular bloggers to join her in the kitchen.
In what is becoming a disturbing trend, more and more celebrity chefs are hamming it up on screen and being made to look like cartoon characters. Take the beginning of
Hell's Kitchen, for example. The cheftestants frolic around stupidly: one throws a giant animated tomato, another catches the tomato, and yet another slices the tomato in half with a larger-than-life animated knife.
All of my blabbering about
Top Chef has almost made me forget that Gordon Ramsay's Hell's Kitchen begins June 4th! There are
twelve contestants facing off this season and they range from retirement home chef to short-order cook. Could be interesting, but will it be as captivating as TC?
