Warren Brown’s new Food Network show premiered tonight, and included a trip to Duff Goldman’s Charm City Cakes in Baltimore. They made a that was centered around a piece of either strong PVC or some painted metal conduit, and shaped like a cannon. So, yeah, part cake, part fire-arm! But it’s nice to see Warren and Duff get friendly, as I understand there was some animosity between the two of them. Brown is a natural on camera: friendly, well-spoken and fun to watch. Sadly, most of the show is him watching other people work, instead of him actually baking himself. Now, while I found the dessert restaurant at the Tropicana in Atlantic City, I’d rather see Warren hard at work. A good debut though, and something worthy of my Tivo’s attention, for sure.
