The Daily Star, Oneonta, N.Y., Friday, September 26, 2014 10 With national institutions, such as Chili's, Denny's, Out- back Steakhouse and The Cheesecake Factory all being featured, there'll be food to please all sorts of palates. For far too long, cooking shows have taunted us view- ers with their picture-perfect dishes and gushing judges. "On the Menu" won't be any different in that regard, but at least we'll get to see — and taste — what all the fuss is about. "On the Menu" pre- mieres Friday, Oct. 3, on TNT.

Just how torturous is it to watch Gordon Ramsay gush about the party going on in his mouth, to listen to Antho- ny Bourdain wax on about the succulent aromas as- saulting his nose, while all that we poor, suffering TV watchers get is a brightly lit view of the dish in question? Why, I say it's high time we foodies rose up and demand- ed that we, too, should get to taste these supposedly amaz- ing foods. Well, lucky for us, two fa- mous folks are on our side. Ty Pennington of "Trading Spac- es" and "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" fame and Chef Emeril Lagasse, host of "Emeril's Florida" and "Top Chef" judge, are teaming up with TNT to bring a tasty new twist to the genre — a twist that we can all sink our teeth into. "On the Menu," which premieres Friday, Oct. 3, on TNT, is the first cooking com- petition show that lets us, the viewers, taste the winning dishes after each and every episode. Much like many of these cooking competitions, each episode will feature four passionate home cooks cook- ing their way through a series of culinary challenges, all with the end goal of getting featured in a national eatery. How's that work? Well, 10 restaurant chains have signed on to be featured on the program, and each week- ly episode will focus on one of them. That week's contes- tants will have to develop their own signature dish that will feel right at home in that restaurant, and the winning dish will be featured in that eatery's menu across the na- tion. Hungry viewers won't even have to wait to try out the winning plates either — they'll be popping up on the menus the very day after their featured episode airs.
