Top Chef Producers to Create NBC Restaurateur Show
From Magical Elves, the producers of Bravo's Top Chef, Top Chef Masters, and the soon-to-air Top Chef: Just Desserts, comes yet another reality TV show, tentatively titled United Plates of America.
Unlike its sister productions, United Plates will air on NBC. The premise: aspiring restaurateurs compete in a number of challenges involving the restaurant's concept, cuisine, management, and marketability.
NBC's Chopping Block Gets Axed
Only three weeks into the show, and NBC has chopped Chopping Block, its new food reality TV competition starring UK bad boy chef Marco Pierre White.
Chopping Block turned out meager viewership, drawing a mere 2.6 million viewers last week. NBC said it hopes to bring the show back at a later date — but for now it'll be replaced by reruns of Law & Order: Criminal Intent.
Will You Watch the Season Premiere of The Chopping Block?
The Chopping Block, a new culinary competition hosted by the original British bad boy chef, Marco Pierre White, debuts tonight on NBC at 8 p.m. Eight couples will compete for the chance to open a restaurant in New York City.
Now that Top Chef is officially over, do you plan on getting your food reality TV fix elsewhere?
NBC Pulls PETA Super Bowl Ad For Being Too Provocative
Animal rights organization PETA has always produced campaigns that have been the subject of contention. And, with Super Bowl Sunday — the biggest day of the year for advertising — looming around the corner, the group has naturally found itself in a hotbed of controversy. NBC has rejected PETA's newest TV spot, aptly titled "Studies Show Vegetarians Have Better Sex."
Marco Pierre White Is on The Chopping Block
If you're a foodie with access to BBC America (or BBC regular), then you've probably caught an episode of Last Restaurant Standing. The reality show pits couples — many with little or no professional cooking experience — against each other as they compete to open a restaurant. The BBC version is hosted by Raymond Blanc, a two-star Michelin chef and food personality.

Top Chef 6 Location Revealed: Las Vegas
At this very moment in Los Angeles, NBC is hosting a press conference for its reality TV shows. While the upcoming Top Chef Masters was discussed, the most exciting information comes from a tweet by Kate Aurthur of the Los Angeles Times: Confirmed: The next season of Top Chef will take place in Las Vegas and will begin filming next week.There's been much speculation that Vegas might be the setting for season 6, but earlier this week when we wondered where the culinary competition would take place, most of you hoped it would be New Orleans. However, I'm thrilled that the show will be filmed in Sin City.
Marco Pierre White: "You Have a Duty to Put Reality Into TV"
If you're a fan of reality cooking shows, you may have heard about NBC's upcoming show, Chopping Block, which airs March 11. The show stars Marco Pierre White, the UK's original bad-boy chef, who has been known to make even Gordon Ramsay cry.
When I spoke to White today, the Chopping Block host was, in stark contrast to his deviant reputation, incredibly gracious, even-keeled, and — dare I say it — sentimental.
Tyler Florence and Andrew Zimmern's Public Feud
Bizarre Foods host Andrew Zimmern doesn't like Tyler Florence and he's not afraid to publicly express his disgust for the Food Network chef. Last week on his personal blog, Zimmern said in a discussion of Ryan Seacrest's reality show, Momma's Boys: Monday’s episode featured the worlds least talented TV chef, Tyler Florence, once again churning out the questionable cooking advice and the leading the ladies through a menu of the Moms fave recipes.
