Summer's here and that can mean only one thing -- food! Okay, maybe that's only what it means at the Food Network.
The Food Network will kick off six new shows for the summer beginning right after the Fourth of July. Here's what's on tap:
• Grill It! with Bobby Flay - This is the latest from Iron Chef and master griller
Bobby Flay. It's sort of a competition/fantasy show, but not a Throw Down (that's another show). Bobby will introduce 13 viewers who've sent in their videos showing their grilling expertise and why they should be on air to grill alongside BF. The show premieres on July 6 at 9 o'clock a.m. with a shrimp episode.
• How'd That Get On My Plate? - From the field to the plate, hostess Sunny Anderson -- who just started on FN in April with
Cooking for Real -- shows how the things we eat make it to our tables. The first episode is July 6 at 11 p.m. The food in question will be strawberries.
