Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Y'know what I love about Ted Allen? Everything. His carefully sculpted coiff, his evasion of the Queer Eye curse, his smug yet disarming way of knowing so much more about everything than I ever will. And now, as if I needed another reason to worship the damn man, he is hosting the genius new Food Network series Food Detectives. As if granting my TV prayers, Food Detectives is described as the epicurean answer to Mythbusters. The upcoming primetime show, debuting on July 29th, will feature Allen working with a team of culinary and technical scientists to verify or debunk famous food myths. Slated thusfar: the five-second rule, the gestation of gum digestion, and an apple-a-day's effect on doctors.
Additionally, viewers can submit their own culinary queries. First on my list: Can eating too many carrots turn your skin orange? 'Cause I'd sure like to see Ted all tannined. Which food fables would you like to see tested?

By the time her 9 month doctor visit came around, she had already acquired a nice orangish pallor from the baby food. I took a closer look at the labels and sure enough, the majority contain carrots as the first ingredient. We just laid off a bit on anything containing any carotenoids and she went to normal in a few weeks.

What he lacked in wit, sensitivity and creativity (particularly the amazing Tom Filicia...God I wish that man would make over our house) he made up for with unimaginative insults and unfunny dismissive bon nots. While each team member had their strong points, it wasn't hard to see the frustration the others felt in dealing with Ted Allen. He continues as the weakest link on Top Chef and I hope that if Tom Collichio departs, Anthony Bourdain takes over, as opposed to someone like Ted.
