[Sca-cooks] the New Cookery Shows

[Johnna Holloway]

Coming to television this fall--
“The Chew” will fill the 1-to 2-p.m. slot now occupied by “All My  
Children,” which will end its more than 40-year run on ABC on Friday.

As of Monday, Susan Lucci’s cheekbones will be out, bone-in chicken  
will be in. “The Chew” has five full-time hosts: Mr. Batali; Ms. Hall;  
Michael Symon, the “Iron Chef” stalwart and Cleveland native; Clinton  
Kelly, who is also a co-host of the fashion show “What Not to Wear”;  
and  Daphne Oz, the 25-year-old daughter of Dr. Mehmet Oz (yes, that  
Dr. Oz), who plays her role of wide-eyed cooking apprentice  
beautifully. Together, they will cook, chat, taste and — if rehearsals  
are any indication — refer frequently to their own lives and “stories.”
