Food Network Launches 'Gourmet Next Door'

The star of Food Network’s new show “Gourmet Next Door” literally could have been next door a year ago.

The program is hosted by Amy Finley, who was the season-three winner of “The Next Food Network Star.”

Other “Next Food Network Stars” are on the menu in other shows on the channel.

“The Gourmet Next Door” is scheduled to premiere Sunday, Oct. 14, at noon as part of the network’s “In the Kitchen” daytime lineup.

In the show, Ms. Finley demonstrates how easy living a gourmet life can be with time-saving tips and tricks for turning everyday meals into feasts and mixing flavors from abroad with favorites at home.

Ms. Finley is an avid traveler who attended culinary school and wrote a travel book about Italy. In addition to writing, she is a stay-at-home mom who lives with her husband and two children in San Diego.

“Amy’s infectious, easy-going personality and approach to creating simple, impressive dishes will appeal to our food-loving audience,” said Bob Tuschman, senior VP for programming for Food Network. “We couldn’t be happier with America’s choice as the new Food Network ‘Star,’ and we think Amy will fit in perfectly to our lineup.”

Can't wait to see Amy's show. I think it was just meant to be. FN definitely needs a fresh face on their daytime line-up, and Amy really fits the bill!
