I don't love the Food Network's choices in programming. However, the network recently announced a line-up of new daytime and prime-time shows that have some promise.
Alton Brown will have a new show, Feasting on Asphalt, with a travel bent, and we already know that Paula Deen's sons, Jamie and Bobby Deen, will also have a travel-type food show called Two for the Road. Paula Deen herself will venture into live tv with Paula's Cooking Party in which she will be in front of an audience in a studio.
The biggest news is that Nigella Lawson will joining Food Network celebrity-dom. Her show, Nigella Feasts, will be a show about food, family and holidays.
A couple of shows about which I am skeptical are Throwdown With Bobby Flay, and of course whatever spin-off show that the winner of the currently running The Next Food Network Star will host.

I'm willing to watch anything and everything with Nigella Lawson on it!! Not necessarily for the food though. My TiVo is ready & waiting!

I am officially voting for nigella to move into front-runner position on the "food network dream dates" list! she's the ultimate dreamboat - I think food network-ies of all genders and sexual persuasions can agree on that one.

After seeing this report last night, I had to write an excerpt. Why am I so in love with her? We've never even met!

Well on tonights Next Foodnetwork Star, Carissa was eliminated, and also eliminated any chance of me watching either of the remaining contestants shows, I feel she was the most fun to watch and has very surprised when they removed her.

i have been watching the search for the next food network star avidly. I totally agree with the final two. in fact i would find it very hard to choose just one of them. Both reggie and guy are so lovable and capable , I think both of them deserve their own show. How about it? 2 winners. Some of your regular hosts are getting very tiresome since they are on so many times every day. Rachel is adorable but i can only stand so much perkiness in one day. Way too much of her and Emeril. More variety please. Reggie and Guy would be great additions to the line-up. You certainly did pick the best of the contestants this time. Thank you

I think Paula Deen is the greatest on the food network, and I think Jamie and Bobby's new show will be a hit. They have the best personality. She also makes things I would actually cook!!!!!
