Food Network Picks Up Anne Burrell’s TV Show, and ‘Top Chef’ Spawns Another Spinoff

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.

Anne Burrell’s new Food Network TV show, Secrets of a Restaurant Chef, has gotten a stormy reception among Netizens. But is it actually doing well? The premiere episode had 662,000 viewers, says Allison Page, the Food Network's vice-president of programming. That was a 21 percent increase over Simply Delicioso, which ran previously in the time slot. The Food Network plans to air six episodes of Secrets of a Restaurant Chef, but could order another ten or so. Anne Burrell, like us, will have to wait and see.

Citizen Critics Weigh In on Anne Burrell’s New Show

Centro Vinoteca chef Anne Burrell’s Food Network show, Secrets of a Restaurant Chef, premiered early Sunday morning, but not too early for Internet commenters. There are threads on eGullet and Yelp, but the longest by far is over at Serious Eats, where some viewers jumped on the chef with both feet, hectoring her for “doing a song and dance routine while talking non-stop.” Others blamed Burrell's producers: “[S]he doesn't have to be 'Truck stop Millie' .. If they let her be her self she will be fine!” But there are fans, too: “A total breath of fresh air. As soon as she told me to ‘brown the crap’ out of the veggies for the Bolognese I was hooked.” Did you see it? Leave your thoughts in our comments.

The verdict! Anne Burrell's new show - Did you watch? [Serious Eats]

Maremma’s Farewell Feast

Though Florent got all the attention this weekend, another restaurant closed too: Cesare Casella’s Maremma. The Italian restaurant lasted only three years, but it had its fans, among them a disproportionate number of chefs, food writers, and Italian nationals. Representatives from all three groups showed up to close the restaurant on Saturday. In tribute to Casella’s trademark bouquet of rosemary, a lot of the men, and even a few of the women, tore branches off the restaurant’s rosemary plant and put them in their breast pockets. Casella was his usually merry self, if a little subdued, but the guest list was surely gratifying: Del Posto’s Mark Ladner, Centro Vinoteca’s Anne Burrell, Cesca’s Kevin Garcia, Fiamma’s Fabio Trabocchi, and a dozen other peers and friends.

Centro Vinoteca chef Anne Burrell was well known to Food Network viewers as Mario Batali's assistant on Iron Chef America, but as we reported last month, she's getting her own Food Network show, Secrets of a Restaurant Chef. We checked in with Burrell to see what she had planned for her big star vehicle and just how it was different from every other cooking show, anyway.

Chef Groupies Await Their Backstage Passes

From left, Johhny Iuzzini, Sam Mason, Sam TalbotPhotos: Patrick McMullan, Melissa Hom, Getty Images

They're sweaty, profane, covered with tattoos, and totally unavailable on both days and nights — what woman can resist that, right? Yes, chefs are the ultimate sex objects for a certain sort of girl, as a piece in this week's Time Out New York points out. But you knew that already, didn't you? Between our ongoing man-crush on Sam Mason to our outright mockery of Johnny Zs, we're helping feed the groupie phenomenon. (Even Alex Day, of Death & Co., told us, "I was almost a groupie of the bartenders" at the bar once.) Not everyone in the article buys it, however. Anne Burrell, who has fended off a few late-night Lotharios herself, finds the whole idea ridiculous: “I’m usually so focused on what I’m doing that I can’t imagine someone coming up while I’m expediting and asking if I want to go on a date. I’d probably just laugh.”

Anne Burrell to Get Food Network TV Show

Anne Burrell’s rapidly rising star is about to go up a little higher. The Centro Vinoteca chef, poised to create an all-new menu for Gusto, is about to get her own cooking show on the Food Network. Secrets of a Restaurant Chef is to premiere on June 29 at 10:30 a.m. and will feature Burrell, previously known to TV viewers as Mario Batali’s spiky-haired Iron Chef assistant, making rustic Italian recipes, some of which, like brined pork chops, they can enjoy if they hightail it over to the restaurant. 10:30 am is pretty early to be thinking about pork chops, but we plan to watch with rapt attention.

Gilt Besieged by ‘Gossip Girl’ Wannabes; More of the Old East Village to Die

The bar at Gilt is besieged by “a parade of ripe Lolitas,” all clamoring for cocktails like their idols on Gossip Girl. Unhappily for the nymphets, and any well-heeled Humbert Humberts who happen to be hanging around, you have to be 21 to drink in the real-world version of the bar. [Insatiable Critic]

Two of the last holdouts of the old East Village, Sophie's and Mona's, are both for sale. What will replace them? Trustafarian discos? Hookah bars? Collegiate-style ale houses? Somewhere Rockets Redglare is rolling in his grave. [NYP]

Amanda Freitag Leaving Gusto for Harrison, Anne Burrell Taking Over

Amanda Freitag is leaving Gusto, her popular West Village perch, and moving downtown to the Harrison, where owner Jimmy Bradley tells us she was his first choice. “We’re going to go in a new direction,” Bradley tells us. “We were doing French cookery in a New American style, but with Amanda the menu is going to be lusty, soulful, rustic Mediterranean-inspired cookery.” The changeover should happen in January. As for Gusto, it will come under the control of Anne Burrell, the chef at Gusto’s sister restaurant Centro Vinoteca. With Centro packed nearly every night, the time is right for Burrell to expand her authority.

A Restaurant World ‘Howl’

"I have seen the best chefs of my generation tattooed meringued frying..."Photo: Lee Balterman/Time Life Pictures/Getty Images

A reader sent us this Ginsbergian screed earlier this week, which struck us as a perfect snapshot of the restaurant world, circa summer 2007. We leave you now for the holiday weekend. Enjoy!

DanYelle as a restaurant critic? Anne Burell shticking it up in the kitchen with a skirt with horsies on it? David Chang morphing from shy nice smiley ramen guy to F-bomb dropping Esquire spread noodle mob boss? Johnny Iuzzini in a meringue body stocking? Tattoos as the new talent. Top Chef as the new Michelin. Glorified fryers, grass fed peaches, 1,000 day meat. I mean, it’s as if we are all now Cracker Jacks ripping open the next prize every time we open a menu. It's always going to be a disposable toy. Or wash-off ink. It's a 3 onion ring circus, this industry. We have our freaks and our clowns and our daredevils and our bearded ladies. It's "I invented the lobster roll and that white wicker chair to sit on while you eat it." Huh? It's sellouts: Bertoli, Starbucks, Target, FreshDirect, Appleby’s. It's all hypocritical: Eat fresh … and then buy my frozen dinner meals. Hitchcock would have tapped into a whole new genre with the horror of the food world.

Batali Protégé Goes for Her Share of the Limelight

In a certain light, she even looks a little like him.Photo: Melissa Hom

Iron Chef America fans know Anne Burrell as Mario Batali’s sous-chef on the show. (Spotted Pig customers know her as a regular.) The question now is whether she can actually cook when not doing Super Mario’s bidding. Her Centro Vinoteca is opening up this week with recognizably Batalian food: plenty of pork, robust flavors, and the kind of “why not” aesthetic that results in, say, deep-fried gnocchi in lamb ragù (“they’re like tater tots,” the chef says) or a poussin crusted with pancetta and rosemary paste.
