  • Ask the "Big Cheese": Why So Many Restaurant Makeover Repeats?

    I've got another installment of one of my favourite features --Ask the Big Cheese with Karen G., our Senior VP of Lifestyle Content. It's your direct line to the top of the food chain to ask questions about what you see, or don't see, on Food Network Canada. What other broadcaster does this I ask you? This week's question came from a few of you who wondered about all those Restaurant Makeover repeats. If you thought we were going to shy away from the tough questions, you were wrong! Here's Karen's response with a special treat at the end. As always, keep those questions coming. We LOVE hearing from you! Related: Ask the "Big Cheese": How Does A Show Make It On-Air?

  • Ask the "Big Cheese": What Happens to the Food Cooked During Taping of Shows?

    Without further ado, here is another installment of our relatively new feature with Karen G., our Senior VP of Lifestyle Content (AKA "The Big Cheese"). (The feature is newer than Karen's publicity photo, which still has her with long hair.) It's your direct line to the top of the food chain (couldn't resist the pun!) to ask questions about what you see, or don't see, on Food Network Canada. What other broadcaster does this, I ask you? This week's question comes from Laura and Sue who wanted to know: What happens to all the food cooked during the taping of shows? (Great question ladies, I found the answer very informative hopefully you will too. See video for details) In case you're wondering, the show that donated its appliances to the women's shelter was Eat, Shrink and Be Merry . Go Greta and Janet Podleski! Also, did you like how I tried to fanangle an invite to be a "friend" on Ricardo? Pathetic I know but you can't fault a girl for trying. As always, keep those questions coming.
