Looking for the latest in tasty television? Need to know the need-to-watch episodes of your favorite foodie shows? Chow Bella is here to help. We're reviewing the most delectable and dreadful with a handy, must-see schedule so you won't miss a thing.
How exciting! A box from your sweetie has arrived at your front door for Valentine's Day. Is it flowers? Candy? A Shiba Inu puppy from Japan? Hell, no -- it's the talking, lopped-off arms of Mickey Mouse telling you to cease all communication with the sender. Immediately. Before yours is the next body they find in the canal. And if you actually put them on when received, you're creepier than they are. Deal-effin'-breaker.
This week's TV roundup and this weekend's must-see food show listings after the jump.
Reviews and Previews:
Boring? We thought we knew boring watching the "finale" of Worst Cooks in America but England's Last Restaurant Standing on BBC makes Worst Cooks look like Jersey Shore. Seriously, an hour-long episode and it ends in a three-way tie? Congratulations, you've just wasted the hour we could have been reading up on Chef Beau's Scottsdale arrest. Those restaurants are standing all right -- standing in the way of better TV.
