We hear that congratulations are due to Anne Burrell, who despite the chafing of numerous Internet trolls, has had her new show, Secrets of a Restaurant Chef, picked up by the Food Network, which ordered thirteen new episodes. (We have a call in at the Food Network, which has not yet confirmed.) Elsewhere in food TV, Bravo has announced a spinoff series called Top Chef: Masters, which “unites some of the brightest stars in the world of food, award-winning, widely-renowned Chefs who will compete against each other in a series of weekly challenges.” We have some calls in for more info: Will this just be an Iron Chef ripoff? Or will it be endowed with the special, cheesy drama of Top Chef? More to come.
