Chef Josh Capon and "sandwich king" Tony Luke Jr. hit the road in search of the latest and most offbeat food crazes in "Frankenfood," a comedy-and-cooking- competition combo platter that premieres Sunday, June 22, on Spike TV. Each of the 10 episodes finds Capon and Luke in a new town, along with a guest judge from a local eatery. One by one, amateur chefs file before the trio in a bid to prove that they have come up with the week's best Frankenfood, which the show defines as "a mash-up of original and unexpected food combinations, resulting in delicious dishes or awful misses." In one episode, examples of the former include Gyro Bites, which combines the flavors and textures of a gyro wrap and an egg role. One notable miss is the Bratnana Split, a jalapeno bratwurst topped with cherry chocolate-chip bacon ice cream, beer & honey ice cream and orange-marmalade pickle ice cream. Contestants that receive good marks from at least two of the judges move on to the final round, where the two best dishes are selected, tweaked a little by the culinary experts, then served to customers at the restaurant. The winner receives $10,000 and a spot on that restaurant's menu. "Is this show 'Top Chef '? No, and it isn't supposed to be," Capon explains. "We don't take the food too seriously. At some point (in development), this show turned into a food comedy/variety show. The characters and the foods speak for themselves, and the banter between myself, my co-host Tony Luke Jr. and whatever guest judge we are having can sometimes be fun." Locations for these first 10 episodes include New York (both Manhattan and Brooklyn), Dallas and Austin, Texas, Chicago, Philadelphia and Milwaukee. Many of the dishes on this show are fried and/or cheese-laden. Is Frankenfood inherently bar food? "Not necessarily, no. One of the finalists was The Apple That Went to Brunch. That was actually somewhat healthy, a roasted apple, not fried, with goat cheese and granola. I don't think that was particularly a bar food. You're right, there was a lot of fried food and cheese, but every now and then we got something that went in the opposite direction." BY JOHN CROOK Chef Josh Capon Spike searches for inspired new 'FRANKENFOOD' creations BEST SHIP MOVIES "Mutiny on the Bounty" (1935) Later remakes were more colorful, literally, but this version has the unbeatable match of Clark Gable and Charles Laughton. "The Caine Mutiny" (1954) Much of it unfolds in a courtroom, but this rendering of Herman Wouk's novel also depicts Captain Queeg's (Humphrey Bogart) erratic command of a Navy destroyer. "Mister Roberts" (1955) Henry Fonda reprises his Broadway role in this classic about life aboard a World War II cargo ship ruled by a tyrannical captain (James Cagney). "An Affair to Remember" (1957) Though committed to others, two people (Cary Grant, Deborah Kerr) fall for each other during a transatlantic voyage. "A Night to Remember" (1958) The straightforward approach of this British drama makes it one of the most effective of all Titanic dramatizations. "The Last Voyage" (1960) Nails are bitten by the end of this tension-packed drama, told in real time as a passenger (Robert Stack) tries to get his family off a sinking ocean liner. "Ship of Fools" (1965) A star-laden cast represents different social classes on a long voyage in Stanley Kramer's film of Katherine Anne Porter's novel. "The Poseidon Adventure" (1972) Well, of course. The Irwin Allen-produced saga of an ocean liner overturned by a huge wave on New Year's Eve was the template for many disaster movies that followed. "Juggernaut" (1974) A bomb-disposal expert (Richard Harris) tries to save a passenger ship from an extortionist threatening to blow it up unless ransom a demand is met. "The Final Countdown" (1980) After a supercarrier passes through a storm, the crew members are stunned to have passed through time ... to the day before the attack on Pearl Harbor. "Titanic" (1997) Well, of course, Part II. This list must include director James Cameron's Oscar-winning blockbuster that made Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet an ideal romantic team.
