Todd English TV Show to Have Very Little Todd English?

Yesterday word came in that shitshow all-star/oysterman/chef Todd English was maybe getting a reality show on the fine arts network E! about his businesses and "interesting and varied personal life." But the Boston Herald's The Inside Track blog smashes the rumor with another rumor: According to an unnamed source, the show will not be about Todd English but instead it'll be "a somewhat serious picture of the New York hospitality industry." Said the source: "[I]t's a show where many different New York restaurateurs and industry folks are going to be featured." And by "industry folk" they mean possible candidates like Anna Boiardi, heir to the Chef Boyardee canned pasta empire. Good company for Todd English, and good television for everyone.
