Marcel's Quantum Kitchen

Syfy unveils the future of food with a daring new hi-tech cooking series for the modern age, Marcel's Quantum Kitchen, featuring Top Chef and Top Chef All Stars Alumnus Marcel Vigneron, one of America's most notorious chefs on the cutting edge of the culinary field, on Tuesday, March 22 at 10 p.m. Chef Marcel pushes the limits of imagination with his bold style of cooking referred to as molecular gastronomy, which incorporates science into cuisine preparation.

 I love to hate Marcel on Top Chef but either way ... this is going to be a cool show as Marcel shows his technique of using modern tools, his own creative inspiration to serve up mind-blowing confections. I’m sure this show will showcase a lot of his liquid nitrogen and molecular gastronomy that he has used on Top Chef.

This would be a great show especially with the buzz about the $600 2,400-page modern science cookbook by Nathan Myhrvold.

New Bravo Shows

With the success of the Real Housewives and Top Chef franchise, Bravo is coming up with more guilty pleasures this year. Let's see if they'll be hits or flops like NYC Prep (which i loved) and Make Me  A Supermodel.

Here are some of Bravo's upcoming shows (dates pending):


Million Dollar Decorators (April): This show will explore the professional and personal lives of some of LA's hottest high-end interior decorators. This looks like  spin-off of million dollar listing. This is perfect for interior designers like my friend Derrick Prodigalidad.

Pregnant in Heels (April): This show is like a mashup of MTV's Super Sweet 16, WE's Bridezilla and... i guess being pregnant. Follow "maternity conceirge," Rosie Pope as she deals with her high end Manhattan clients in planning their extravagant baby showers, parties, and even scheduling a pregnancy portrait ... with a horse.

Rocco's Dinner Party (Date TBD): contestants compete to throw the ultimate dinner party for Rocco DiSpirito and his friends. Rocco is that one dude from the reality show from years ago on NBC that showed the ins and outs of running a restaurant in NYC.

TOP CHEF update: Bravo is milking out the TOP CHEF franchise with a Top Chef cycling through the whole year. There's exciting All Stars running right now, and there's Top Chef Just Desserts, "regular" Top Chef, and Top Chef Masters. Speaking of Top Chef Masters ... hunky chef Curtis Stone will be replacing the Asian  chick ... I already forgot her name. on a sidenote, my roommate hates her.
