Food Chain is based on the popular Italian game Cuochi e Fiamme which returns for a fourth series in 2012 on network LA7. Each episode sees two amateur chefs compete against each other as they attempt to cook four dishes. In the meantime:

Family Game Night Fun

It's Father's Day, and not much going on and I haven't even covered this yet. There were rumors about the cancellation of Family Game Night, which were false. BuzzerBlog's Alex Davis had it confirmed it was a goner and it was a last minute decision to bring it back. However, The Hub did have a press release saying it is coming back. So, that should make people happy who are fans of the show. Here's the casting call for season 3.

Alex Davis: For whatever it's worth this was a last minute decision. I had it confirmed it was a goner. I was sent an email from a source on April 14th saying Hasbro went back and were, "attempts underway to save the show from a lot of different angles," and "Right now, nothing is certain either way." I was asked to keep quiet about it, though.

And it wasn't just me. Announcer Randy West, who is awfully reliable about this stuff as everyone knows, said just about three weeks ago, "While I don't know of any formal announcement, sadly, it appears that FGN will not be back, following a season that earned its host Todd Newton another well-deserved Emmy nomination." So again, sorry for the confusion, but this was confirmed to be cancelled but Hasbro found a way to bring it back and make it work. Not sure what the situation was which caused it to be cancelled (I'm going to guess budget), but it seems to be resolved.
