"Food Network Doesn't Have a News Show." But a Dallas Woman Could Be Its Next "Star."

Breaking news for the Liz Lemons of the world, or at least the 30 Rock viewers who get the headline: Food Network today announced the 10 peeps competing for the title of The Next Food Network Star, and one of them's a local -- name of Lisa Garza. The series -- now in its fourth season, really? -- bows June 1, with the winner revealed on July 27. I seem to recall last season's "star" looked a lot like Margot Kidder; did she actually get a show, or were those ads just a fake-out? No doubt, the fact I have to ask is why Food Network's planning on giving this season's winner a six-episode series debuting in August. So, ya know, get to work, Lisa Garza. --Robert Wilonsky

I'm one of the very few people on this planet to have watched this show in its entirety last season. It was pretty...dull. Except for the last few episodes, where one of the finalists made a few false statements about his military service and was forced to leave the show. In all, there wasn't much talent in last year's pool.

Funny how the Food Network doesn't have the best food show on television...Top Chef. I also watched the Next Iron Chef, and it was rather dull, as well. While Bravo has the correct "recipe" (rock me), the Next Iron Chef was head-to-head every week (no group competition/friction), and hardly any chef personalities came across in any entertaining fashion.
