We can't get enough of watching people eat and prepare food on television. These articles are a few years old, but nothing has changed about the situation. In fact, it's even more true now.
The first link discusses the second all-food channel to complement the popular Food Network--the Cooking Channel.
The next follows an appearance by Katie Lee, a newer food celebrity. Networks large and small recognize the same with restaurant/cooking shows such as Top Chef Hell's Kitchen or shows that focus on our eating habits or their aftereffects in Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution and Biggest Loser.

This is a very good point. I don't see this changing either. A lot of life is based around food rather that be going out to eat at a fine dining restaurant or having your family over for a holiday. American culture (and many others as well) is based around eating and cooking. We watch celebrities because we are interested in their lives and what they are doing, and a lot of what they are doing is eating and cooking (because that is what American culture is based on).
