New shows and one cancelled

As reported earlier, Guy Fieri and Rachael Ray are working on a new show, to premiere sometime this summer on The Food Network. Zap2it.com writes that Rachael described it as "the cooking equivalent of 'Dancing With the Stars.'"

Guy Fieri went on to say the competition is a
"brother and sister culinary battle," as he considers Rachael his "sister from another mister." The show is going to feature celebrities with varying degrees of culinary ability to come on the show and compete in two teams of five. "Rachael's going to get five, I'm going to get five and it's going to be battle royale!" teases Fieri.

And KansasCity.com reports that Jeff "Stretch" Rumaner, owner of Grinders in Kansas City of Diners, Drive-ins and Dives fame, is currently working on a potential television series with SpikeTV. The project, called “Hungry Men at Work,” will pair top chefs with men working dangerous jobs around the world.
“It’s not just another show where you throw ingredients in the bowl,” Stretch said this week. “It gives you the chemistry, the science behind the foods, like how cayenne helps the blood flow, the spinach has iron. We have great graphics too” — courtesy of the same team that does graphics for “Deadliest Warrior.”
Plans have episodes to be taped in the frozen tundra of North Dakota, with men fighting wilderness fires and drilling oil in the Arctic.

After his debut with Guy Fieri on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives, "Stretch" has appeared with Guy on Guy's Big Bite, the Guy Fieri Road Show in 2009, and is set to join Guy again on the road this Spring. He travels with America's Chefs entertaining the troops, and he has also appeared on ABC's “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” and Discovery Channel's “Monster House.”

The Charlotte Observer reports this morning that the Guy Fieri Food Road Show appearance in Charlotte, NC, scheduled for May 18, 2011, has been cancelled.

Cooking with Kids and a Day at the Races

Guy Fieri was in New York recently and sat down with The FN Dish to talk about the Guy Fieri Cooking With Kids Foundation. FN Dish: You started your Cooking With Kids Foundation about a year and a half ago. Tell me more about it.

GF: So we’ve done a couple different things. First, we had about 20 kids come into one of my restaurants and had them cook. However, back in January, we brought 100 junior-high students together, mentored them, and while they were cooking we shot it for Food Network webisodes. In my career, I love Diners, Drive-ins and Dives, I love Guy’s Big Bite — I love all the shows that I’ve shot, but this has been the high point of my career. It brought tears to my eyes.

We approached the California State Legislature with a bill that would declare every second Saturday in May “Cook With Kids Day.” It passed and I was just elated. It meant that everyone — chefs, restaurateurs, schools, businesses — would have to focus on kids for one day. We took it one step further with our legislative friends and now Cooking With Kids Day takes place every week on Sundays.

Guy Fieri spent the weekend in Louisville, KY, hosting a brunch, attending the Barnstable Brown gala and the 137th Kentucky Derby, 2011.

*Uploaded by triciajoy1 on May 6, 2011*
This was taken on May 6 at the Marriott Oaks Bourbon Brunch which supports Kosair Children's Hospital, Kentucky and Southern Indiana's only full-service, free-standing children's hospital. More than 120,000 children are treated at Kosair Children's each year regardless of a family's ability to pay. He also has a special message at the end for my sister, Deana Blevins, who couldn't make it to the brunch because she was in Nashville getting a chemo treatment.



The BourbonBlog caught up with Guy Fieri on the red carpet on the night before the Derby.
