ABC Reveals Details About Nigella Lawson & Anthony Bourdain Show


As his No Reservations show on Travel Channel is winding down, Anthony Bourdain shows no signs of doing the same. He's working on his next travel series for CNN; there's that show on PBS called The Mind of a Chef his company is producing; and now comes more details on the culinary competition show he's hosting with Nigella Lawson called The Taste on ABC to debut in 2013.

A few months ago they were holding auditions for contestants; but the network has now revealed more about the show, which will have two other hosts, including former Top Chef-testant Brian Malarkey and Ludo Lefebvre of LudoBites.

On “The Taste,” each of the four culinary superstars – Bourdain, Lawson, Lefebvre and Malarkey — will coach a team of four competing pro and amateur cooks chosen from a nationwide casting call as they vie to create the best tasting dish. In each episode, the groups will face team and individual challenges with a variety of culinary themes through several elimination rounds. At the end of each episode, the Mentors will have to judge the competitors' dishes blind, with no knowledge of whose creation they're sampling, what they're eating, how it was prepared or whom they could be eliminating.

So basically the pitch seems to be that it's going to be like The X Factor with food, or just about every other competitive reality show these days.
