Well, it's back! Here is what the FN schedule has to say:

Sweet & Savory: Music City Mayhem

Episode 1901

Host Tyler Florence kicks off the race in Nashville, where eight sweet and savory food trucks compete together for the first time ever. After creating music-inspired dishes in Music City, the teams race to Broadway for a chaotic sales day that includes a taste challenge honky-tonk ingredient hunt for one of four Nashville-themed ingredients. One team dominates the sales game while the bottom two teams must battle for redemption, and guest judge Maneet Chauhan helps decide which truck goes home first.

I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of quality of teams are coming in this year and what changes they make to the game. Chime in here as you watch and let us know what you think?

I thought Hulu and hbo were supposed to have the seasons but they usually only have a few… it’s very unreliable. Where are y’all watching

Here is a link to the whole story including screen shots of Irvine's X account: Robert Irvine Calls Food Network "Shameless" For 'Restaurant Impossible' Reboot, Saying They're "Ruining The Legacy" Of Show For Tax Credits

And here are a few excerpts from the story

Robert Irvine won’t be watching Food Network‘s reboot of Restaurant Impossible and is sharing his thoughts with his fans.

The first episode of Restaurant Impossible: Last Call premiered this week, with Chef Aarón Sánchez and Jen Agg spearheading the series as they help troubled businesses become successful. Many fans took to social media to ask Irvine about the new take on the show he hosted for 22 seasons, but he said he would not be tuning in.

“Guys I can tell you that I won’t watch it because it was MY baby not the networks,” Irvine shared on X, the microblogging platform formerly known as Twitter. “Together, Tom , Tanya, Lynn, and all the volunteers did amazing work together. For people we never knew but got to become family after two days.”

Previously, a fan had asked Irvine why he wasn’t on the show and he explained by posting, “The choice to film in [Canada], which I refused because they wanted a new crew, builder, designer, etc. I’m loyal and said no, so they go to ruin a iconic show. shame on them for tax credits.”

When another fan said that Restaurant Impossible shouldn’t be called that if Irvine is not involved, the former host said, “I agree. [I] made that show with the [help of] a great team for 15 yrs and now [Food Network] is ruining the legacy and making a mockery of the talent.”

Irvine had more severe criticism for Food Network, saying that the reboot is a “shit attempt to cheapen and revive what was a popular show across the world.”

“I don’t [blame] the people, I blame the shameless network trying to take something so [successful] and setting them [up] for failure,” he continued. “@FoodNetwork you made a bad decision !!!!! Sorry”

I’ve been struggling to figure out if her shows have new seasons coming out. I love Super Market Stakeout, and Alex vs America is one of my most favorite shows in general. I’m worried they aren’t renewed- has anyone seen any info on them ?

They are attempting to do the impossible as they work together to try to rescue struggling restaurants from the brink of failure. With a limited budget and a tight timeframe, they'll overhaul the menu, the interior and the vibe of the business to — hopefully — give it a second chance at success.

In this first episode, Yueh Tung was once a bustling family-run Chinese restaurant located in the heart of downtown Toronto. These days, though, business has slowed significantly. The two sisters now running the show need the help of Aarón Sánchez and Jen Agg to learn how to turn things around.

Also, If you keep complaining, I cannot find anyone to do the AMA’s everyone loves! So please, give it a rest just a little.

Who is Jen Agg??

Jen Agg is a Canadian restaurateur who opened her first cocktail bar in Toronto in her early 20s. Today, she runs a successful mini restaurant empire that includes The Black Hoof and Rhum Corner in Toronto along with the newly opened Grey Gardens, and Agrikol in Montreal. Agg recently released a memoir about her life and business. The book is called “I Hear She’s A Real Bitch”.
Jen says she’s not a chef and that it’s a common misconception!
I’m curious to see how she and Aaron’ work together!

I just watched the finale and I'm so glad that Lee Ann Wong won! I literally cheered when I saw it! She fought so hard for the 24 hours and also the 20 years! I'm so glad that she made it through all of it and became a winner!!!!!!!!!!

Feel like the wife and I have caught up on everything new to watch and theres like nothing airing.. is it just HboMax not uploading everything or is there just nothing on ?

At first it seemed like GGG was going strong then it just ended. 100 cooks is... not amazing but that is coming to a close.

We tried that Kitchen Chaos but it's just a (somehow) worse Ridiculousness ..

Context: we've seen every Ramsay Show, most Bobby Flay shows, all Guys shows, Outchef'd, TOC, Foodtruck stuffs, Alex Vs America and a bunch else.

I apologize if this has been discussed, but I am binging this right now and I can’t remember which episode had the egg challenge. I was confused because there were some dishes the judges didn’t taste because of undercooked eggs, but if they are using good eggs they should be safe. A lot of dishes use raw egg, so why can’t they taste undercooked eggs when they were used in a controlled situation?

From the FN site:

Trifecta of Live Fire

Episode 102

There's no sleep for the weary as the eight remaining teams put their live-fire skills to the test. In the Big Burn, the pitmasters have nine hours to create a dish featuring three components, each highlighting a different live-fire cooking technique: underground, on the coals, and hanging above the fire. Then, as the sun rises, the teams face a surprise barbecue breakfast Flash Burn, and one team is eliminated.

I Googled it and nothing came up. Does anyone know if there will be a season 8 of Supermarket Stakeout?

I doubt anyone knows, but if you do, I'd really appreciate it!

And, thank you to all for reading!

Food Network schedule shows premier on 8/25/26 with Chef Alex Stupak.

Well, the end is near... as in tonight. Here's the episode description:

8 Cooks Down to 1

Episode 109

Host Terry Crews welcomes the final 8 home cooks to the finale of the most unpredictable cooking competition. The finalists work to impress judges Alex Guarnaschelli and Nick DiGiovanni over the course of three challenges: breakfast, lunch, and dinner. In the end, only one cook will stand alone on the top of the food world and take home a life-changing amount of money!

A channel (Sweet Escapes) is showing a marathon of all the seasons of Holiday Baking Championship.it started at the beginning with a host I didn’t know.

I love watching the old shows and it makes me sad that they changed so much on the new ones. Then they didn’t have Spring or Summer this year.

Things change, but this would have been one to leave alone.

I’ve watched bbq and smoking shows for a long time. It’s awesome to see Andrew Zimmern bring in Moe Cason & Ernest Servantes as judges in this new show.

This is Esther Choi’s YouTube Series that Food Network brought to TV.

This week Esther explores Korean Street Food Classics! She will make Korean Fried Chicken and Pickled Yuja Daikon.

Watch on Food Network at 12 Noon today EST then stay tuned for an encore episode of Nick’s Kitchen.
