For the first main dish challenge, the chefs teach the recruits how to make breakfast, the most important meal of the day.  Upcoming episodes feature a fun fish market challenge, a round of food trivia game "Family Food," a sweet Valentine's Day challenge and the return of "Remote Control Chef."

Why are they airing the next cycle of this so soon?  They normally film these things months in advance, but apparently this one just wrapped (presumably for it's normal fall slot) and is being put on really quick.  I wonder if the Discovery buyout has something to do with it. 

I think the celebrity season that is premiering shortly was actually filmed awhile ago. They seem to be cranking them out this morning Daphne Ozs Instastory has her filming what appears to be the finale of a new regular season. 

Here's a short article on Food Network's site showing the 7 (???) upcoming "Celebrities". I wonder if there's going to be a surprise addition? It seems weird to start off with an uneven number. Of course they did have an uneven number during the last celeb edition after the "accident" Carmen Electra had.

Announced "Celebs": Oscar Nunez, La Toya Jackson, Ian Ziering, Catherine Bach, Bronson Pinchot, Maria Bamford and Nolan Gould 

I always remembered Bronson the most Bronson Pinchot from Perfect Strangers. He was on a season of that VH1 show The Surreal Life where some weird stuff went on between him and Janice Dickinson. I also know who La Toya Jackson,  Ian Ziering and Catherine Bach are. Having not really watched Modern Family I didn't recognize Nolan Gould. Wasn't a viewer of The Office so Oscar Nuñez didn't seem familiar either. I probably should have recognized Maria Bamford from Fresh off the Boat since I watch that but I didn't.

One of my favorite scenes ever!  Eddie was trying hard to not crack up.  Bronson was hilarious and you know most of this had to be ad-libbed.  Love it.

Me too!  I never cracked up so much in the theatre!  It's the only scene I really remember him in although I know I've seen him here and there over the years.

I actually recognize most of these "celebrities" this round which probably means I watch too much television. I wouldn't have recognized Bronson Pinchot as Balki from Perfect Strangers but he is in the upcoming Chilling Adventures of Sabrina which I've really been looking forward to on Netflix. His name was also mentioned as a running gag on a recent episode of Superstore.

Nolan Gould is really smart and can be hilarious at times. I'm looking forward to seeing him.

Maria Bamford is a comic who is pretty funny, but a few minutes of her can be more than enough.

Oscar Nunez seems likeable, but I haven't seen him much outside of his role on The Office.

I find Ian Zering to be annoying and arrogant, but I can't recall where that impression comes from.

For the judges, is that David Burtka, Neil Patrick Harris’ husband? When did he become a “culinary expert”?

From this article:

Quote

Burtka enrolled himself in the esteemed Le Cordon Bleu Culinary School.  This zeal for chefdom was established early on. "My parents always loved entertaining," he recalls. "From a very young age, my mom used to put my sister and me to work to cleanup and do chores for her cocktail parties."  This sous-chef training came in handy while he was working with Mario Batali and Thomas Keller upon leaving culinary school; following those stints, he went on to open his own catering company.

So David has serious credentials as a chef.
