I saw a commercial that they were looking for contestants, but I haven't seen any commercial indicating a premiere date.

There is a new Food Network show starting up soon called "Chopped." It looks more like "Top Chef" than "Food Network Star" to me.

Yeah, I think Chopped starts this weekend (maybe next), but they are also doing advertising for contestants for Next Food Network Star.

Gah! Too many food reality TV shows... can barely keep track of 'em (and which contestant is one what show!). Haven't seen much of Big Daddy since his run of initial shows (although he was a guest on something, Paula Deen maybe). Anyone heard anything about him lately?

I've seen a bunch of commercials lately that Big Daddy season two (?) starts Sunday at 1:30.

I had the same reaction to this show as to Jen's (Design Show) show - underwhelmed. He's just not comfortable in front of the camera, and that makes it weird to watch. Think I'll pass on tivoing it.

Do we know when "Chopped" will begin? I have checked my TV Guide through 1/11 and don't see it - I am assuming it will be on in prime time?

Ok, the show I saw advertised was the ultimate receipe showdown which was tonight. It is on now, interesting, just like the other challenge shows except they use that white haired guy as the mc. I don't really like him, don't usually watch any shows he is on, even ones I like. I couldn't even watch Ace of Cakes when he came on. He annoys me, LOL.

I agree that I like Guy Fieri and just love the program - Drive-Ins, Diners & Dives! I have to admit that I even watch the repeats of that show.

Mystic, the food on DD&D looks just as yummy on the reruns as it does the first time around.

Guy and DD&D fan here, too! Have any of you watched Man Versus Food on the Travel Channel? That guy is so cute and wow, can he eat!

Oh, I definitely agree, Lexie! I would love to travel to all those Diners, Drive-ins & Dives, and sample all the delicious food!

I was a Guy Fieri fan, but I'm getting over him now. He's all over the place (like Emeril was once) and that wears thin. I think his personality is a bit over the top and it wears on my nerves. Plus, he never cooks vegetarian and the dives he hits never serve veggie. (At least none of the shows I've managed to catch by accident have.) I also don't think I'd enjoy eating at half those places, if that.

DD&D did a show about a place in LA I think it was, called The Spot. Entirely vegetarian fare. See, you just have to be dedicated to watching DD&D!

One show out of how many? I'm not willing to be grossed out by much of the dive fare just to catch one restaurant. And yeah, Guy makes Emeril look subtle, but my point was the ubiquitousness of the two. Whenever you turn on the station, you see Guy. Just like you used to see Emeril. Bleah. Overkill if you ask me!
