Nancy asks…
Do people on Food Network cooking shows cook in their own kitchens on TV?
Or do they use set kitchens? It seems like they have too many chefs on the Food Network to not film in the stars’ own kitchens, but that seems like an invasion of privacy…
Michelle answers:
Sandra Lee is not in her own kitchen, it’s a set modeled after her own home. Alton Brown’s set is also modeled after the kitchen in his former home.
Paula Deen’s new shows, from the last season, are filmed in her new home in Georgia, previous to that she was filming in a house in upstate New York.
Ina Garten (The Barefoot Contessa) films her show in her home on Long Island.
Michael Chiarello’s show is filmed in his home in Napa, California.
Bobby Flay’s “Boy Meets Grill” show is filmed at the home of a friend of his, in New York City.
Giada DeLaurentiis, Rachael Ray, Emeril Lagasse, Mario Batali, Bobby Flay, Tyler Florence, Sara Moulton, Cici Carmichael, Guy Fiore, The Hearty Boys and other hosts are all in studio kitchens.
Robert asks…
How do they keep the food warm on cooking competitions?
I was watching The Next Iron Chef on food network today, and I have been wondering this for a while. Between the times where the chefs stop cooking and the judges taste… how does the food stay warm? Does this not lessen the final product of the last person being judged because it isn’t as fresh/hot?
Michelle answers:
It doesn’t have to be warm
George asks…
Does anyone have info on the new Food Network, Horse Racing TV collaboration program, “Table to Stable”?
I just heard that the Food Network is collaborating with Horse Racing TV to create a new program called “Table to Stable.” The show is supposed to have celebrity judges, such as Wolfgang Puck, Shia Labeouf, Weird Al Yankovich, and Red Pollard. Anyone have any more info on this? I know it’s still in development, but when is it scheduled to air, or anything else?
Michelle answers:
I couldn’t even find any information on it when I searched for it… Are you sure that’s even the correct name?
David asks…
why are some foods supposed to “rest” when taken out of the oven?
It seems like many of the food network chefs tell you to. Especially meat & meat dishes.
Michelle answers:
After cooking, meat should rest
1] to allow the natural juices to redistribute;
2] to finish cooking;
3] and to cause the meat to relax;
4] making it easier to carve.
