New Food Network Show Idea?

When thinking about the current thread on Rachael Ray, I started thinking about what could be the next new Food Network Show. The regular networks are producing shows where celebreties compete in something out of their field, like sing a duet with a real singer or ballroom dancing. So, why not pair up real celebs with celeb chefs in an Iron Chef style cook-off? Think of the possibilities!!

Emeril & Cher vs Giada & Letterman
Flay & Stephen Tyler vs Paula & Barry Manilow
Rachael Ray & Katie Curik vs Alton & John Madden

Who else could we pair up?
(Actually, I doubt if I would watch such a show)

I just flashed on Gordon Ramsey and G.W. Bush vs Tyler Florence and Hillary Clinton ...

(Actually, I doubt if I would watch such a show)

Me either!

I would watch it, just to see if the floor would hold Mario and Dom DeLuise at the same time.

I thought Dom DeLuise is dead. Surely his career is.

Hey, that didn't stop them from having Anthony Dias Blue in as one of the judges on the first Iron Chef America!

Actually is Dom DeLuise dead?

Actually is Dom DeLuise dead?

I don't think so. You must be thinking of Richard Nixon. According to the following link :

Highly regarded as a chef, he has published two books of his favorite Italian recipes, "Eat This!" and "Eat This, Too!"

[James Roscoe]

So he is just, "Mostly dead."
