If you followed America's Next Food Network Star, or watch the Food Network regularly, you probably already know that Guy Fieri was picked as this season's winner. His show, called Guy's Big Bite, premiers tomorrow morning at 10am/9am central. It will run for 6 episodes and then could be renewed as part of the full-time lineup if the ratings are good. The first episode is titled Bloody Mary Steaks, which will be followed up with more shows of comfort foods that focus heavily on meat-and-potatoes fare, which is an angle that isn't emphasized on the channel.
Ratings or not, Guy will probably have a hard time breaking into the network schedule simply because the network relies so heavily on its overexposed current celebrities. It makes you wonder whether they look at Guy and think "Could we put him on for an hour, five nights a week?" We can't say for certain before the show airs, but at the very least, we'll get to see a nice change of pace from the normal programming.

Bring on the new stars! :)

He seemed to be winded about five minutes into the episode. The recipe was simple, uncomplicated, and he managed to display enough of himself in his techniques and banter. I'd give it another go. At least it seems like he loves the food that he's doing, unlike some of the other current personalities.

He just needs to remember to share measurements (I think he only mentioned one measurement - a booze to tomato juice ratio on the marinade) and stop saying "key" so darn much. Every ingredient he picked up he said was key - eeesh. If he can stop saying that, I will enjoy him event more.
