Folks who know me know that I love food and cooking it and eating and experiencing it, and Food Network is like finely-razored crack on a hot plate when it comes to my enjoyment. I purposely don’t Tivo much of it or I’d spend most of the day watching cooking shows and doing little else.
So I jumped on the bandwagon when my friend, the sweet yet awesome Tara from TaraMetBlog recently held a contest for a Food Network Wii prize pack giveaway which was promoting the new Wii game, Food Network: Cook or Be Cooked, and included a bunch of promotional items along with the game. She recently got to have a sneak peak of it along with Iron Chef Michael Symon, lucky gal she is.
Guess who won it?
Yup! Little old me. I was stupidly surprised when she messaged me with the news. Awesome.
What ended up arriving at my doorstep was the following bundle of good things:
- A copy of Food Network: Cook or Be Cooked for the Wii
- A Food Network reusable shopping bag
- A Food Network Celebrates! Healthy Cooking DVD set featuring Rachael Ray, Ellie Krieger, and Alton Brown
- A copy of Food Network’s “Meals on DVD”
- A Food Network branded oven mitt, already used it tons
- A Food Network: Cook or Be Cooked branded apron — a rather nice one that actually FITS
- A Food Network sideways peeler, a new one for me (I’ve always used the straight ones)
- A Food Network key chain
- A Food Network refrigerator magnet
- A Food Network 1/2 size pen
So that’s pretty nice, eh? Many and copious thanks to Tara and the fine folks at Weber-Shandwick, Namco Bandai Games, and of course Food Network for the nice swag!

Hey, one more thing, how do you like the wii game? I saw it advertised and wondered if it was a good one to buy.

Rachel V: To be honest, I don’t have a Wii, but my friends do, so I’m going to take it over and try it out. If you follow the link to Tara’s post about it and then the link to her post about previewing the game, there’s good video on how it plays and how it works. Looks neat.
Thanks. Have fun playing! After you play it, you might want to save up to buy the wii system. My kids love playing, even Colby tries.
