Food Network recently announced a few new shows including Rewrapped with former boy bander Joey Fatone, America's Best Cook, and Kitchen Casino. Bloomberg checks in with Allen Salkin, author of From Scratch: Inside The Food Network. He says that executives are "regurgitating old show ideas and presenting new ways to make ourselves fatter and sicker. … The network would rather push Twinkies, a snack food that went bankrupt, than take a risk with something food-forward like, say, a vegetarian cooking show."
