All week long, Vulture explores what happens to reality TV contestants after the show ends — and the future of the genre itself. Reality television may be synonymous with fame-chasers, but it’s also a field crowded with amateurs and semi-professionals trying to rise to the top in their industries. Are Top Chef, American Idol, and the legions of also-rans really the launching pads to professional success they make themselves out to be, though? We made it our mission to find out. The ground rules: We started with shows that aim to launch careers, and then discarded those that cast already-established professionals (The Next Iron Chef) or focus on behind-the-scenes roles where stardom is rare (Top Design, Shear Genius). Then we looked at the winners and runners-up of the shows that made the cut, and decided if each person achieved professional success after their appearance. We focused on the top two...

If you're a Food Network fan, it's nearly impossible to miss Alex Guarnaschelli. Executive chef at Butter and The Darby in New York City, she's also been a judge on the network's landmark cooking competition Chopped since its inception, and has her own show, Alex's Day Off.
Many were introduced to Alex when she went after the Iron Chef title in 2011 in The Next Iron Chef: Super Chefs, advancing to the final three.
The latest iteration of The Next Iron Chef brought back only contestants who had previously competed for the title and were clearly seeking what defined the show: Redemption.
Guarnaschelli graciously made time for TV Fanatic last week, and we got to ask her about Tnic: Redemption, her family and what she really loves to cook...

Victory tastes so delicious! After a hard-fought battle in Kitchen Stadium, Alex Guarnaschelli beat out fellow Chopped judge Amanda Freitag to win this season of The Next Iron Chef. This cycle was all about redemption, which makes her title as Iron Chef that much sweeter since Guarnaschelli was eliminated last season right before the finale. We hopped on the phone with the new Iron Chef to talk about her favorite moments from this past season, and what it really feels like to go head to head in Kitchen Stadium. Congratulations! How does it feel after two installments of Next Iron Chef to finally be the winner? Alex Guarnaschelli: [Host] Alton [Brown] was like, 'at this point, this is it for you....

The top three chefs -- Nate Appleman, who made a complex haddock chowder and Amanda Freitag and Alex Guarnaschelli -- squared off on Food Network's season finale of "Next Iron Chef: Redemption" Sunday (Dec. 23), with Guarnaschelli serving up sea urchin to secure her victory.
"I never thought for a minute that I would win," she tells Zap2it. "In the humblest of terms, I never dreamed I would win, and when that curtain dropped [revealing my photo], you could have knocked me over."
"I did tell my parents," Guarnaschelli says. "My mom -- I called her and said, 'I am doing 'Next Iron Chef' again. And she said, 'Oh no, don't do it! You are not good at those things. Don't do it!' "
Guarnaschelli says she understand her mom's need to protect her.

So how did she win?
Chairman's Challenge
The chefs had to create a "Last Supper" menu incorporating one of the following ingredients:
Farm Chicken (Chef Freitag)

Nate Appleman presented poached haddock and clam chowder. The judges called parts of his dish "absolutely perfect" and said that his haddock changed their mind about it being boring.
Amanda Freitag gave the judges a lusty lemon-roasted chicken. "Wow wow wow wow wow..." was only part of the praise she got for the dish. It was called "one of the best dishes of the competition."

In this incarnation, though, the Chairman has gone big, and the chefs find massive ingredients...

Zap2it: You were host of a Food Network cooking show called "Good Eats," which still airs on weekday mornings. Does that help in your relationship with the chefs on Food's cooking competition show "The Next Iron Chef: Redemption," airing Sundays?
Alton Brown: I'm not a member of the [chef] club. I'm not considered one of them. They don't treat me like I'm one of them. I don't own a restaurant; I don't hobnob with them. In a way, I can't. I couldn't do the job that I do, on either "Iron Chef America" or "The Next Iron Chef," if I was all buddy-buddy with everybody.
I know and respect them and treat them with respect; therefore they treat me with respect.
Zap2it: "Good Eats" mixed pop culture, science and history with the art of cooking. Do you miss doing the show?
Alton Brown: Yes and no.

Earlier this month, Food Network premiered the fifth iteration of one of its most successful franchises, "The Next Iron Chef: Redemption."
The eight-episode series (the finals air on Sunday, Dec. 23), with host Alton Brown ("Good Eats"), features a roster of acclaimed culinary masters vying for a second chance to join the exclusive "Iron Chef" club. Along with veterans of the competition, the show added a few newcomers, along with a 10th cast member decided in Web-exclusive battles at FoodNetwork.com.
Asked about this fresh twist on the concept, Brown -- calling in between flights from the cockpit of his private plane -- tells Zap2it, "You always have to look at the story arc. It's a good story. It's not just a matter of piling another bunch of people to fight with one another.

If there's ever a time when viewers can use Food Network's help, it's Thanksgiving.
Menus and recipes can make or break the holiday, and to that end, the channel offered its first interactive "Thanksgiving Live" special last year. Its success was evident from the number of at-home watchers who sent in questions via Twitter, Facebook and Skype, so it's happening again: Another all-star team of Food Network personalities assembles for the special's second edition Sunday, Nov. 18.
Bobby Flay, Sunny Anderson, Alex Guarnaschelli and host Alton Brown return for the new two-hour session, joined this time by Giada De Laurentiis, Ree Drummond and Aaron Sanchez. For Guarnaschelli, of such Food Network programs as "Chopped" and the current "The Next Iron Chef: Redemption," it's about the camaraderie as much as the food ... as it is for so many on Thanksgiving Day.

Iron Chef America is one of my absolute favorite shows on TV. The combination of mouth-wateringly appealing food (I miss Mario Batali) and the goofiness of the sporting event-style setup form a series that I can't help but DVR. When The Next Iron Chef began in 2007 as a reality show to determine who would join the pantheon of culinary giants, I couldn't help but eat that up as well (spoiler alert: the best chef won.) Now, with the Next Iron Chef concept getting a little tired, the Food Network is taking their reality show to the web; they're airing a three part tournament on the web to determine who will be the final competitor in the upcoming fifth season. There will be three Next Iron Chef webisodes released; two semifinal matches and the final will determine who will be contestant number ten. The first has already been released, with two...

The Next Iron Chef judge said. "My husband told me that we would go up to our weekend home the night before because in the morning he and my 6-month-old are going to make me waffles. Afterward we will likely brunch with my mom and then dinner with my mother-in-law; perhaps one of those will be at Donatella!"

The week foodies have been waiting for has finally arrived -- at least in Canada. Lucky Americans already know who won the $50,000 for their charity in the final episode of "Chopped: All-Stars" (which aired Sunday night in the U.S.) but I've avoided any and all spoilers leading up to Tuesday's Canadian finale.
The final four consists of Michael Symon (who beat out fellow Iron Chefs Cat Cora, Marc Forgione and Jose Garces), Jeffrey Saad (who took on Aarti Sequeira, Keegan Gerhard and Marcela Valladolid), Penny Davidi (who battled former "Next Food Network Star" contestants Vic "Vegas" Moea, Chris Nirschel and Justin Balmes) and Marcus Samuelsson (who, along with fellow judges Chris Santos, Marc Murphy and Alex Guarnaschelli, got to see what it felt like on the other side of the "Chopped" kitchen).
Who else was cheering for Alex? No offence to Marcus (or Chris and Marc), but I've always been a fan of Alex.

Who: Elizabeth Falkner: San Francisco celebrity chef, Citizen Cake and Orson founder and "The Next Iron Chef" runner-up.
Years in Sf: 25 years
Current Gig: Falkner became "The Next Iron Chef" runner-up on Sunday night, focusing the spotlight squarely on San Francisco. But with the sudden closure of both of her restaurants -- Citizen Cake and Orson -- the local dining scene is wondering what's next for our culinary star.
Elizabeth, on Sunday, you competed in the finale of "The Next Iron Chef," with Geoffrey Zakarian taking the prize. What's it like competing on a show like that? It's totally fun, but it's insane at the same time. It's a completely different environment than working in a restaurant. In the kitchen, if one of your chefs is going down in flames, you're not going to let them just burn up in the corner -- you're going to help them get it together.

Subtlety isn’t on the menu on the Food Network’s The Next Iron Chef: Super Chefs. Between the gigantic automated doors, the ominous lighting, and Alton Brown’s disappointment-tinged voice, it’s a miracle the contestants don’t drop their knives and run the heck out of the highly intimidating judging room. But I suppose you need guts to be an Iron Chef — and it would probably also be helpful if you knew how to use those guts as a secret ingredient, if needed.

"The King's Speech" continues to reign supreme over awards season - filmmaker Tom Hooper was honored with the top prize at the Directors Guild of America (DGA) awards on Saturday, January 29. Hooper was presented with the outstanding directorial achievement by his peers for his story of stuttering British monarch King George VI.
The DGA prizegiving is thought to be the best indicator for the Oscars, with all but six recipients going on to pick up the Best Director honor at the Academy Awards since 1948. Accepting the accolade, Hooper paid tribute to his mother, who sparked his interest in the king. He told the audience, "She came home and she rang me up and she said, 'I think I found your next movie'. The moral of the story is, listen to your mother."

Tom Hooper of "The King's Speech" has been named the best film director of 2010 by his peers.
Hooper won the Directors Guild of America Award for best feature-film director at the awards Saturday night (Jan. 29), beating out Darren Aronofsky ("Black Swan"), Christopher Nolan ("Inception"), David O. Russell ("The Fighter") and David Fincher ("The Social Network"). And if history holds, Hooper may now be the front-runner to win the Academy Award for best director as well.
Only six times since the DGA began its awards in 1948 has the guild's winner not won the Oscar for best director that year; the last time was in 2002, when Roman Polanski ("The Pianist') beat out DGA winner Rob Marshall of "Chicago." Fincher, Russell, Aronofsky and "True Grit's" Joel and Ethan Coen are the other Oscar nominees for best director.

The Directors Guild of America announced its award winners for achievement in 2010 last night, and the big winner was Tom Hooper, director of The King's Speech. That, in conjunction with the film's victory [1] at the Producers Guild awards, puts the movie as the odds-on favorite to win the Best Picture Oscar, and makes Mr. Hooper a likely win for Best Director as well. The DGA and Academy have gone different ways for Best Director only six times in the past six decades, and I'm not certain this year will make it seven. In Contention [2] points to the difference at the 2003 Oscars, where the relatively young Rob Marshall won the DGA award for Chicago over directors like Martin Scorsese and Roman Polanski. But the Academy went with Roman Polanski as Best Director for The Pianist, even as Chicago won Best Picture. So will a more experienced director like Darren Aronofsky, David O. Russell...
