Ted Allen is a Food Myth Buster
Ted Allen will be busting food myths on the new Food Network show, Food Detectives, bringing you answers to questions like whether gum really stays in your stomach for seven years, or if an "apple a day" really does keep the doctor away. Sounds like it has the potential to be interesting, although that there's enough material to sustain it is questionable. The show premieres Tuesday, July 29, at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

I don't know why, but this reminds me of Bobby Rivers' Top Five show a few years go. That ran out of themes after a while. It always amazes me that "Unwrapped" has been around so long--and is really pretty interesting.

hmmm... there's a similar Taiwanese show that looked at whether keeping live prawns in human urine allows the prawns to stay alive longer...

Come to think of it, some of the Bobby River's Top 5 would sometimes appear as less of a food or food related item but more of a new category unto themselves.
Reminds of this show they did on MTV a few years ago about debunking urban legends. By the time I finally caught it, they were clearly stretching for material. Maybe it's only intended to run for one season?

It sounds ok, but it seems to me more like a show that Alton Brown would host. Or, at least, I would like to see him make.

Sounds like it has potential. I do hope, however, that it doesn't follow the same path as Unwrapped. I feel like that show went from being interesting to being a forum for (mostly) corporations to promote their products.
