Busy time on the Food Network this weekend with the premiere episodes of not one but two new cooking shows; plus new episodes from both newer shows and old favorites.
First on Saturday is the premiere episode of Ask Aida with "cooking expert Aida Mollenkamp prepares delicious dishes while solving Food Network viewers' culinary conundrums in her new interactive cooking show" according to the Network release. The great thing about Aida is she's been doing web videos at Chow.com for three years now. So we know she's good in front of the camera and knowledgable.
What impresses me most at this ... {More...}

Here's the video preview of what's happening on this week's episode of The Next Food Network Star on Sunday night at 10pm.
The remaining three finalists shoot scripted promos at iconic Las Vegas locations. Then they meet Season Two winner Guy Fieri and are told to each create a lavish buffet for the ultimate Vegas crowd – entertainers from famous Vegas shows and top Vegas chefs.

First up is Tyler Florence who travelled to Boise for a food charity event, A Chefs' Affaire. What it is involves a five-course gourmet dinner created by Idaho chefs from 20 different restaurants. There is also ... {More...}

So the first-ever Pebble Beach Food and Wine Festival finally happened and ended last night. It was definitely a rousing success.
Let me quickly mention my irritation at what ever San Francisco Chronicle copy room hack came up with the misleading headline of: For $4,750, foodies eat up the chance to see famous chefs in person Compare the headline to the very last sentence in the article: "Per-person cost for the four-day Pebble Beach Food & Wine extravaganza ranges from $100 for a single class or seminar to $4,750 for lodging and admission to all events."

Why do so many other people come up with much better food reality programs that the Food Network? Is it they're so close to the subject matter they can't see the forest from the trees? Or in this case the parsley leaves from the bushel? Aside from Bobby Flay's Throwdown and Dinner: Impossible, yeah FN does fine with it's dump-and-stir programming, but reality? Eh.
Let's face it FN to this day whines -- and I mean whines a non-stop pathetic blue streak -- that Bravo stole Top Chef from their Next Food Network Star. But ... {More...}
