The Great Food Truck Race was ruined by having the contestants not be food truck operators. I quit watching last season. It's almost as if FN & CC are being lost to reality television craze. Sad. <br /><br />FN has a responsibility to its viewers to either air several episodes of a show staring the NFNS winner, or publicly state why they decided not proceed. Particularly if they are moving forward with another season of the show. To do otherwise risks the credibility of the network.AMKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808060991534955915.post-56300900037330089042013-06-01T22:28:14.865-04:002013-06-01T22:28:14.865-04:00They don't seem to want to actually have cooki...They don't seem to want to actually have cooking shows anymore!! The only one I really enjoy watching is Chopped. To me, all the competitions feel "fake" in some way. I really liked the first and 2nd season of Food Truck Road Race...but then that fell flat in the 3rd season. Again, it could be just me, but all the shows about helping failing restaurants/bars are lack luster and I can't stand the mean spirit and yelling from the FN hosts. Way too much drama!!

I always said that Emily (the retro looking blonde) should have won, Marty should have gotten a couple of specials and Justin should have gotten a show on the cooking channel.<br /><br /><br /><br />I have to admit I wonder what went wrong there. I have to imagine that with all of the other garbage they have been throwing on TFN that someone must not have been happy with whatever it was Justin was putting on film when it came to his series that never was.Molly Macnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808060991534955915.post-61135903308278127302013-04-25T03:29:24.047-04:002013-04-25T03:29:24.047-04:00Not much on that list inspires me to spend my time...Not much on that list inspires me to spend my time watching although a few sound good - food court wars, Restaurant Express, beat bobby flay, undercover critics, & Thanksgiving live<br /><br />Restaurant divided sounds like a train wreck.

This is the most ridiculous list of shows that I have ever seen! I will have a lot more free time on my hands shortly because I will not be watching much food network. And the whole Justin Warner thing is a disaster. First the delay in getting his show on the air, then he doesn't have his show produced by his mentor Alton Brown as promised. So because he choses a prime time show instead of a day time show he only gets a pilot that wasn't widely promoted by FN and that's it?
