Greg Grossman, Child Caterer, Lands Reality TV Show
Precocious child chefs and foodies — a trend to hit the media circuit last year — apparently aren't over yet. Remember Greg Grossman, the 13-year-old rising caterer on the Hamptons circuit? Now 14, the kid caterer is no longer a novice to the world of publicity, and has recently landed a deal to develop his own television show.
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.
Bravo Announces Seventh Season of Top Chef, Chef Academy

Do You Prefer Professionals or Amateurs in Food Reality TV?
Last night, as I was watching the Next Iron Chef contestants make airplane food, I couldn't help but think of the huge difference between these contestants and those on Top Chef, Hell's Kitchen, or the Next Food Network Star. (Given that the challenge was similar to one on Top Chef, it was easy to make comparisons.) I don't understand why recreating airplane food can define a chef's worth, but if I have to watch, I prefer to watch a master shine in his or her craft than see a bubbling, everyday personality toddle around the kitchen. How about you?
Top Chef Quiz: Strip Around the World
From breakfast in bed to big top-inspired soup, last night's episode of Top Chef had the chefs cooking up some crazy casino-inspired dishes, but not everyone's gamble paid off.
Emotions were high, and, of course, someone went home. Did you get too wrapped up in the drama to pay attention to the details?
Top Chef Vegas: Episode 11
After a brief hiatus with last week's Fabio-hosted reunion dinner, we went back to Vegas — and into Padma's hotel room — for this week's episode of Top Chef.
The final six chefs started things off by cooking breakfast in bed for their fearless hostess and her celebrity chef friend Nigella Lawson. For the elimination challenge, each contestant created a dish for a party, drawing inspiration from different casinos on the strip.

Guess who's joining the ranks of Paris Hilton, Padma Lakshmi, and Audrina Patridge as Carl's Jr. spokesperson? None other than reality show temptress Kim Kardashian.

A New Battle Begins Over The Next Iron Chef!
Days before the season finale of The Next Food Network Star — and hot off the heels of another captivating Top Chef Masters round — we've learned more about another foodie reality TV show. After the first successful iteration of The Next Iron Chef in 2007 (alums Michael Symon, Chris Cosentino, and Aaron Sanchez have all become Food Network personalities), the show is returning for a second season on Oct. 4.
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.
