  • Watch Our Hosts Do Battle in Mexico Airing Saturday

    A few months back we gave Food Network Canada hosts Nadia G, David Adjey, Anthony Sedlak, Roger Mooking and Chuck Hughes Flip cameras to capture their shenanigans as they headed to Mexico for a week of food competition. They brought back some great behind-the-scenes footage including Anthony’s visit to a dog sanctuary, Nadia G. trying on some fetching masks and Chuck’s new tattoo. Food Network Mexican Fiesta , the one-hour special of their week-long Mexico trip is airing this weekend ( Saturday at 8pmET/5pmPT, Sunday 12pmET/9pmPT). Our hosts will face off in three Iron Chef-style challenges using exotic ingredients such as fresh barracuda and cactus pads. In the meanwhile get in the fiesta spirit by checking out these Flip videos courtesy of Nadia, David, Anthony, Roger and Chuck.

  • Video of the Week: A Bitchin' Thank You

    By now you’re fully aware that the Foodnetwork.ca team is all caught up in Bitchin’ Kitchen fever (we even blogged live during the premiere along with host Nadia G. —t'was fun!). And, as you know, Bitchin’ Kitchen’s first incarnation was as an online video series on Youtube . It just goes to show that this new kid on the block called the web can produce some big-time success stories. As such, Nadia wanted to give a big shout-out for everyone's support, love and… ok, forget I will not indulge and use this as yet another excuse to say bitchin’. Instead I’ll just let her tell it. Take it away Ms. G! Related: Live Blogging Event: Join Nadia G. for Bitchin' Kitchen Premiere Bitchin' Kitchen's Montreal Launch Party
  • Live Blogging Event: Join Nadia G. for Bitchin’ Kitchen Premiere

    We came, we watched and we live blogged. Sure, there were naysayers (to be expected with a new show) but I think most of us enjoyed it. See the transcript of our live blogging event below if you missed it. Hold on to your aprons, we have a deliciously demented new show coming your way – Bitchin’ Kitchen with host Nadia G. With her sexy costumes, her quick banter and her three-inch heels (yes, she really does cook in them), Nadia G . is definitely going to be shaking things up. Having met and interviewed Nadia G. (check out my interview below), I can tell you she is a riot! She started out as a stand-up comedian and still writes all the scripts for Bitchin' Kitchen.

  • Bitchin' Kitchen's Montreal Launch Party

    I was lucky enough to attend the launch party for Food Network’s newest show: Bitchin’ Kitchen . The party took place at one of Montreal’s hippest restaurants, Koko on St Laurent Street . Each table was adorned with kitschy food cans filled with pink roses and decorated with Bitchin’ Kitchen stickers. The night was an ode to Bitchin’ Kitchen’s novel approach to cooking. Check out the preview and you’ll understand. Host Nadia G . and her trio of sidekicks will be cooking up a storm in more ways than one. Bitchin’ Kitchen , which started as an online show, caught the eye of Leslie Merklinger , Director of Original Production for Food Network Canada. The show will definitely be bringing something new to the network –with the help of high heels, quirky muscle-heavy men and a healthy dose of attitude. (Bitchin' Kitchen's executive producer Joshua Dorsey, cover of Bitchin' Kitchen cookbook, music by Italian band Marco Calliari) The party started out with a touching speech by Nadia G. who spoke about how proud she was to be on Food Network Canada and all the hard work that led her to where she is now. No one was fooled by her petite stature, skin-tight zebra printed dress , silver stilettos and perfectly curled hair – this host knows what she stands for! A passionate lover of food, music and everything eccentric, she will be showing us the best meal to make before a break up, how to prepare an Italian feast and the perfect recipe to cure a hangover. Guests grinned and laughed at the previews of her show projected on a large screen during the party. The crowd was young and full of Nadia G. fans. Among them was fellow Montrealer and colleague Chuck Hughes , host of Chuck’s Day Off . It’s always nice to see fellow Food Network Canada hosts supporting one another. Bitchin’ Kitchen premiers April 1st on Food Network Canada @ 11pmET. Join us for our Live Blogging event with Nadia G! Jennifer Bartoli is food writer and food photographer currently based in Montreal. Related: Question of the Week: How Do We Spread the Word on Bitchin' Kitchen?
