5 Food Network Game Shows That Should Exist
![]() |
[This FNH guest blog entry was written by Mollie Vandor]
Thanks to the success of frosty-haired Food Network host Guy Fieri’s gameshow masterpiece Minute To Win It, TV execs everywhere are bound to be looking for new ways to use our favorite Food Network hosts on all sorts of prime time game shows. Here are a few of the best ideas so far:
Bros Icing Bros, hosted By Sandra Lee
America’s favorite alcoholic semi-homemaker hosts the TV version of this popular internet meme, and helps contestants design snazzy, dollar-store tablescapes in which to hide bottles of Smirnoff Ice from their friends, who are then forced to actually drink the stuff when they unwittingly stumble on it during dinner. Of course, the hardest part of the game is keeping Sandra from drinking all the booze before it even starts.
Are You Smarter Than Alton Brown?
Lovable food geek Alton Brown hosts this quiz show, where participants try to prove they can beat him at food trivia. When they inevitably lose, he forces them to put on a chicken suit and appear in one of those skits on Good Eats.
The Butteriest Loser, With Paula Deen
Paula Deen mentors fifty underweight contestants from across the country, as they embark on a journey to gain weight. Eating nothing but butter, bacon and foods dipped directly in Crisco, the contestants discover what it really means to win big, as they lose their waistlines and gain the kind of self confidence that can only come from seeings busts of themselves rendered entirely in butter.
The Marriage Ref, Hosted By Rachael Ray & John Cusimano
What? You thought this was a game show? Nope, it’s just couples counseling. Because the only way John could get Rachael to see a therapist was to allow her to turn it into another TV show.
The Bachelor: Brian Boitano Edition
Brian Boitano cooks up a love match when twenty women try to woo the figure skating foodie over the course of six weeks. Challenges include seeing who can create the most dishes using the words ‘nuts’ and ‘balls’, testing who can bust out the best 1992-themed dance moves and seeing who can come up with the best costume for the San Francisco pride parade.

And, sorry, NO one is smarter than AltonBrown ;)
I want to be on Alton’s game show, even though I know I would lose, just so I can dress up in a chicken suit and be on Good Eats. How pathetic is that?
I’m not smarter than AB either. Uh, yeah. I wear a size 14 chicken suit, Alton. TYVM
;-)
Thought “Bros Icing Bros” would be hot naughty boys covering each other with canned whipped icing (recommended Betty Crocker) with almond ‘eggstract’ added and then licking it off. First one finished wins. Yay Aunt Sandy!
For alton’s show: Just get Tom from NFNS to host it, and you can call it “Win Alton Brown’s Money”.
Just like Ben Stein, he’d be pretty safe, methinks.
If there was such a game show with Alton, I’d watch it. In a chicken suit.
Great thread, Mollie!! I’d totally wear a chicken suit on the show! :)
This may not be horribly relevant to the discussion, but will someone please – once and for all – please define “meme” for me?
I am something of a tech retard.

What? No 10 Minutes of Hell, where you’re stuck in the kitchen with the Neelys for 10 minutes watching them cook cholesterol inducing foods and listening to their sexual innuendo?
I would LOVE to see Alton do a game show!
The Alton Brown show is my favourite. Make it happen FN. Make it happen. I love Good Eats but for some reason it seems to have been carted off to sometime after the dogs have gone home, i.e. late at night. Why it does not have a prime time slot, I have no idea. It is not as Alton is saying anything that is not PG certified.
Alton’s proper grammar, good knife skills, and advanced vocabulary are intimidating to the average FN viewer. Hence, late night airings.
On the other hand, if they win, they earn the right to wear a chicken suit and appear in one of those skits on Good Eats!
iF the loser on AB’s show gets the honor of wearing the chicken suit on one of his skits, what does the winner get? A date with W?
While we’re at it, can we get a Real Housewives of Food Network?

I was looking eervwyhere and this popped up like nothing!
I know Alton Brown donated to your site, but enough with the up-sucking already! Anyone can look up food facts on the Internet and write them into a script.
FNH didn’t write this article, you dolt. See the words “guest post” written everywhere?
You DO know that Brian Boitano show’s just going to end with all of the bachelorettes getting screwed (figuratively) as Ina Garten whisks him away, right? :)
