There’s a new food related reality show coming to the market, thanks to NBC and the company behind Hell’s Kitchen, according to Variety:

“Chopping Block,” to be exec produced by David Barbour and Julian Cress, will feature would-be chefs competing as couples in a bid to win their own restaurant.

The host will be Marco Pierre White, who replaced Gordon Ramsay on the British Hell’s Kitchen last year.

I am absolutely addicted to Top Chef, but I think we’re reaching critical mass with competitive reality shows. Bravo alone has more than their fair share, so I’m curious if this show can get off the ground and get it’s own following or if it’s doomed to failure.

I’m pretty sure if I ran a network, right now I wouldn’t be reaching for more competitive reality to fill out my schedule. But I guess lather, rinse, repeat is the way scheduling works these days.
