Next Food Network Star
Will You Watch Melissa d'Arabian's New Show?
From the beginning of The Next Food Network Star, mother of four Melissa d'Arabian seemed to be an unlikely candidate. She proved everyone wrong last week when she took the title on the season finale of the series.
Now she has her very own show, Ten Dollar Dinners With Melissa d'Arabian (a notable departure from her Kitchen Survival Guide pilot shown on the finale).

Last night was the season finale of The Next Food Network Star, and I couldn't wait to tune in to find out the winner. Was it going to be the laid-back, well-spoken world traveler, Jeffrey Saad — or the resourceful, vivacious mom, Melissa d'Arabian?
In my opinion, it was obvious which contestant was more marketable, so I wasn't the least bit surprised when the winner was announced.

Although all 10 cast members appeared to bond right away, I wasn't experiencing the same connection to them on the small screen.

Who Is Your Favorite Food Reality Contestant of 2008?
What would the food industry be without reality TV food competitions? 2008 was filled with interesting characters, odd-ball personalities, and plenty of heat in the kitchen. We covered the three main shows: Top Chef, Next Food Network Star, and Hell's Kitchen.
