Ted Allen to bust some myths on The Food Network

The season finale of the Bravo reality show Top Chef will be airing soon, but out cooking maestro Ted Allen won't be off TV long. The Food Network has tapped the former Queer Eye guy to host its new show, Food Detectives.

The show will look at "commonplace misconceptions and myths" about food, and it will premiere this summer during the network's "Guys Night" (and how great is it that an openly gay man is hosting a show on something called "guys night"... unless they mean Guy's night?).

I'm not sure what food myths he's going to debunk, but I have a few ideas for him:

Bubble Yum contains spider eggs. (Actually, I know for a fact that this is true, it happened to a friend of a friend's cousin.)

Eating carrots leads to improved vision. (Actually, this one is true, as well. On Gilligan's Island, Mary-Ann ate some radioactive carrots, and she could see all the way back to Hawaii.)

Soylent Green is people!

Green M & M's make you horny. (Of course, that's silly...or is it?)

And my all time favorite ... SOY IS TURNING KIDS GAY!

You can watch Ted doing his detective work starting July 29th at 9 pm.
