My tvland source has informed me that Fox’s Kitchen Confidential will not return from its baseball hiatus until December 5th. Even though another three scripts have been ordered (a good sign) it has been pulled from the November sweeps lineup (a bad sign).  The next episode, Rabbit Test, features a new addition to the kitchen: a tough girl cook named Becky, played by Erinn Hayes. She’s presumably based on Bourdain’s assistant, Beth Aretsky, immortalized forever in the book as “The Grill Bitch”. (Note the moniker was assigned with love and respect and is proudly worn. And deserved. You do not want to mess with her.) If 21 days is too long to wait and see the locker room action, watch it here now.

Over on the Travel Channel, sources say studio execs are high-fiving on their programming coup. Bourdain’s No Reservations is already in production on a complete second season, with the third “under discussion.”

Seems the real McCoy has greater appeal than the Starr-y version. Indeed, women around the world are dreaming of Tony.
