Ted Allen takes on food facts, fables Published: July 28, 2008 at 1:07 PM
NEW YORK, July 28 (UPI) -- Food and wine guru
Ted Allen says his Food Network show, which tackles weighty food question like the five-second-food-on-the-ground rule, is a great fit. Allen's show, "Food Detectives," attempts to address questions, myths and rumors about food and answers or debunks them through scientific experiments.
The fit? "Nerdy, funny, smart, goofy, science-y," Allen told United Press International.
"Food Detectives," which debuts Tuesday and previewed Sunday, uses culinary technicians and the scientific know-how supplied by the science and technology magazine Popular Science to conduct experiments to find the truth behind most food myths
"It's interesting stories about food," said Allen, explaining he and Food Network have been working for some time to find the right show.
