Someone recently pointed out to me that there were at least 3 cake-making shows on television these days. I’ve blogged about this before, but the whole “It works on one network, let’s inundate five other networks with frail copycats” thesis doesn’t work. How many people even know that “Chopped” exist, let alone that it tries [...]

A press release just hit my inbox announcing the 10 competitors on the upcoming season of The Next Food Network Star, which premieres June 7th.  Notable among them, at least for DC residents, is Teddy Folkman, the Executive Chef at Granville Moore’s.  Granville’s is located on H st. in the NE quadrant of Washington, DC, [...]

Food (off of my DVR…dumbasses scheduled it head-to-head with Top Chef) and enjoyed them quite a bit.  I plan on hitting up my DVR after Top Chef to watch the next two episodes tonight, where the host travels to Pittsburgh and Columbus.  Challenges tonight [...]

Remember when you were little and your coaches and parents told you that in order to be a great athlete you had to “practice, practice, practice,” take care of your body and eat well? Well apparently, those were all lies and all that you really need is some sugar. Yep, it’s the sugar highs that [...]

The segment from WJW Fox 8 about the “Crybaby” t-shirt incident has been posted online. It provides a good overview of the whole story. It features some coverage of So Good breaking the story, and they used two segements from my phone interview with them. Unlike the story I was cited in by the Cleveland [...]

One of my favorite shows on television, Battlestar Galactica (BSG), makes its triumphant return on Friday night. (If you haven’t seen the show yet, proceed directly to your Netflix queue and add Season 1 immediately. Do not pass go, do not collect $200). As a bonus, BSG fans living in NYC and LA can celebrate [...]
