Cheflebrity Smörgåsbord: Gordo Gets Animated

The latest and greatest news about celebrity chefs, served up conveniently buffet style.

– There is going to be a Gordon Ramsay stop-motion animated series.  Why?  Because even Fox reality show producers aren’t over-the-top enough to insert cartoon sound effects when he starts hurling cookware.

– Guy Fieri is marketing a line of knives called “Knuckle Sandwich.”  Take a moment and think about what they might look like.  Now go check them out.  Yep, even douchier than you imagined.

After the jump:  the year of the culinary blockbuster films continue, Tyra goes crazy(-ier) for truck food and Disney brings in the foodies.

– After the success of Julie & Julia, is it any surprise that a film with “Meatballs” in the title was tops at the box office.  It’s just a shame that Dom DeLuise died before Mel Brooks could pull together that Pizza the Hutt spin-off movie.

– You know how food trucks are a big trend in New York?  Well, Tyra Banks is on board, so I guess that’s over.

– Celebrity chefs including Cat Cora, Art Smith and Robert Irvine were out in force for the EPCOT International Food and Wine  Festival.  I hear the braised mouse was delicious.
