Season Three Next Food Network Star winner Amy Finley's new show will start airing Oct 14. She's got a pretty decent time slot too. - TV Food Fan
What Do You Think of Jag's Behavior?
If you had an ounce of respect left for Next Food Network Star contestant Jag, I have a feeling it's about to dissipate. Our friends at Food Network Addict are reporting that Jag offered to reveal the finalists (a super reality TV no-no) in exchange for keeping his background a secret.
"In a bid to preserve his shot at a six-episode Food Network series deal, Garcia revealed in those interviews that he was one of the final two contestants. Military Times did not include this claim in previous stories because it was not clear whether this was another lie, and to protect the integrity of the show."
Wow. That is really something else. What do you guys think? Do you like Jag?

I found the full InStyle article on Tyler's website, but here are a few gems and classic FNA catty commentary. - Food Network Addict
