Two New Food Shows to Debut on Bravo

The Countess. Padma. Tabatha. If you're on a first name basis with these gals, chances are you're a Bravo junkie (like us). The cable channel just announced a new slate of shows in production and it sounds like they're going to pull us back into their clutches yet again.

In development is 'Around the World in 80 Plates.' Contestants fly around the globe to test their culinary skills in some of the world's most famous restaurants. (We're pretty sure El Bulli and The Fat Duck are getting called right now.) Of course the contestants have to adapt to local cultures and food tastes.

The other food show is called 'Commander in Chef,' another competition series. But this time it's professional chefs who have to perform cooking challenges in front of a studio audience. There will be five battles; the final cook-off will be between the last chef standing and the chef host. There are cash prices because after all the celebrity, chefs need the money.

Let the games begin....

fanatic.

irrelevant!
