Ted’s new series, ‘Food Detectives,’
to premier July 29th on Food Network
9 p.m. ET/PT Tuesdays, starting July 29
Food Network
Ted joins the Food Network family to explore the delicious connection between science and food in the new series “Food Detectives.” The half-hour, primetime show mixes a healthy dose of humor with a wealth of fascinating factoids. Aided by willing culinary techs and the brains from Popular Science magazine, the series will conduct experiments to find the truth behind the most interesting food myths and questions. Ted and his team will dig deep to answer such questions as: Does it really take seven years for gum to digest in your stomach? Is the five-second rule true? Can an “apple a day” really keep the doctor away? Viewers can also get in on the fun by submitting their most puzzling food conundrums for potential show experiments.
“We’ve wanted to work with Ted for years on a series of his own, and we’ve found a great fit in ‘Food Detectives,’” said Bob Tuschman, senior vice president of programming and production for Food Network. “Not only will this show provide a wealth of interesting information for our viewers, it also gives Ted an opportunity to show off his wit and culinary knowledge.”
“I’m so excited to be working with Food Network on this new series,” Ted said. “It’s a fantastic opportunity for me to head up my own show, and I know that viewers are going to be totally engaged with the information we are discovering on ‘Food Detectives.’”
Food Network is distributed to more than 96 million U.S. households and averages more than 7 million Web site users monthly.
