Michael Chernow will be searching for savory dishes that inspired the hashtag #foodporn on FYI’s new food series, Food Porn, debuting on December 3, 2015 at 9pm ET/PT. Chernow hosts the show and Bethenny Frankel executive produces the half hour series which will have a 14 episode season one run. 70 million #foodporn posts on Instagram and with the hashtag used nearly every two seconds on Twitter, there’s apparently a lot of interest out there in this particular topic.
“Everyone picks up their phone way before their forks when they go out to eat and FYI wanted to be the first to capture this trend and bring it to life,” said Gena McCarthy, Senior Vice President of Programming and Development for FYI. “We knew chef and restaurateur, Michael Chernow, was the right person to help make this show an engaging, fun and drool-worthy experience for our viewers.”
