So how will Kenny meet his untimely end tonight? Cuisinart? Freak flambé accident? Maybe just a good old 8-inch Henckel?

It may seem like it's been a long time coming (just because, let's face it, so much about the Food Network is ripe for parody), but tonight one cable titan takes aim at another: South Park is giving the likes of Guy Fieri and Alton Brown its signature bobble-head treatment.

Comedy Central isn't saying much about the episode, either in its press release or the 17-second preview clip. All we know is that Stan's dad gets obsessed with the constant stream of filleting, dicing, braising, sautéing, etc. that is the Food Network's raison d'être, and it starts to tear his marriage apart, leaving Stan's mom to pursue a mysterious "new interest" of her own.

Episode #1414 is called "Crème Fraîche," and it airs at 10 p.m. ET, ironically, as Eater.com points out, opposite the finale of "Top Chef: Just Desserts."
