That’s right avid US fans, your Bitchin’ Kitchen prayers have been answered! No longer will you have to haul your asses across the border to catch an episode of BK… because Bitchin’ Kitchen premieres on Cooking Channel this October! O-M-G!!!

We’re so excited about the news, we’re nearly busting out into a full-blown choreographed dance number… err, we mean we’re celebrating with quiet dignity and class...  Yea OK, hehe.

With great news like this, we just had to share it with both our fellow Canadian and American fans, who rallied together for our Bitchin’ Kitchen US Petition, you rock!

What does all this mean? Lots of cool stuff is coming up.

For one thing, our community is about to get much bigger and we can’t wait to welcome a whole slew of new faces, fresh comments, and fun foodie convo. We’re also super-stoked about being part of the Cooking Channel’s heavyweight line up, including none other than Bobby Flay and fellow Canadian Chuck Hughes. In the spirit of appreciating the small things, we can also finally feel better about spelling ‘favorite’ without a ‘u’!

Get ready gang, cause it’s going to be one Bitchin’ ride, and to get the celebration started -- we're giving you all 15% OFF the BK Cookbook! Thanks for being a part of it.  Y'all rawk.

Bitchin’ Kitchen airs on the Cooking Channel this October 7th @ 10PM. Mark your calendars!
