The Houston Press put together a slideshow of twenty foods from TV, movies, and literature that they wish really existed. Entries include Romulan Ale from Star Trek, Harry Potter's Butterbeer, and the "tomacco" plant from The Simpsons (an addictive hybrid of tomato and tobacco). I'd add in the fizzy drink Frobscottle, from Roald Dahl's book The BFG—tasting "of vanilla and cream, with just the faintest trace of raspberries on the edge of the flavour." And coolest of all, the bubbles go downwards. What fictional foods would you like to eat?...

Photo from Bravo.com Tonight at 10 p.m. ET is the premiere of Bravo's new Top Chef Masters—a "culinary clash of the titans," where 24 chefs will go head-to-head in the same sort of kitchen battles that fans of previous seasons have known to grow and love. Only this time, instead of ambitious sous chefs and caterers, the contestants are those who have already earned their culinary fame and fortune—like Wylie Dufresne (WD-50), Graham Elliot Bowles (Graham Elliot), or Rick Bayless (Frontera Grill). With more talent in the kitchen, there's sure to be more drama at Judge's Table. It's one thing when judges like Tom Colicchio, himself an experienced chef, call out an uppity young cook for overcooked fish or excessively...

The fifth season of The Next Food Network Star premiered tonight with ten mostly amateur chefs all competing for a television show slot on Food Network. It was a little tough to judge who we'd grow to love and who'd make us cringe, but there were some definite favorites (cough, Michael). The contestants were thrown into a house Real World-style, but there was no time for hot tub introductions. The gang was immediately split up into two teams at Butter restaurant in Manhattan, cooking for 75 guests at Food Network's Sweet Sixteen bash. The invite list mostly included food hotshots (Giada de Laurentiis, Bobby Flay, Iron Chef Morimoto) and for some reason, Nancy O'Dell from Access Hollywood. After the...
