--- author: Eric Wagoner date: '2007-10-25T22:44:30' draft: false title: More Delays --- Just popping in to say that the Food Network deadline was extended again, to November 15. I think the reason is the unexpected departure of Mario Batalli from the network. As one of the Iron Chefs, they needed to replace him. Which they're doing with a show very similar to "The Next Food Network Star" -- "The Next Iron Chef". Which makes me wonder... do I want to win, now that I won't be a colleague of Mario's? Yeah. Yeah I do.
