NBC Green-lights New Cooking Competition From Top Chef Producers

Because there weren’t enough culinary competition shows in the world, NBC has signed on a new one called, rather horribly,The United Plates of America. Produced by Magical Elves, who you know and love from Top Chef, it’ll feature a bunch of apparent newbies (“anybody can take part,” says the executive producer) competing to impress investors with their chain-restaurant concepts. The winner will get to open four outlets across this great land. And when they fail, maybe Gordon Ramsay can bring in a camera crew and fix them!
