Not just a cooking show, Syfy devoted. A cooking show hosted by that 'Top Chef' season 2 dude who was not among the all-time favorite cheftestants: Marcel Vigneron.

Spiky-haired 'Top Chef' runner-up Vigneron will host 'Marcel's Quantum Kitchen,' a series that will revolve around his penchant for using the science of cooking. From the press release announcing the show: "molecular gastronomist" Vigneron, as the head of a new catering and event company, will use his foodie skills and his know-how for planning over-the-top soirees, "which range from a fairytale graduation party and a Goth-rock fashion show to a birthday dinner held on a platform suspended in mid-air."

Marcel and company will "tap the depths of their imagination and culinary talents to create everything from the immersive décor to a delicious menu that emphasizes Marcel's unique brand of avant-garde cooking."

Hmmm, but will the hybrid cooking/party planning series be as cool as Planet Green's 'Future Food,' which finds Chicago chefs Homaro Cantu and Ben Roche using their scientific lab/kitchen to dream up food like an entire seafood meal that doesn't actually use seafood, a menu of tasty treats whipped up from recycled day-old bread and edible packing peanuts?

On a more familiar note, Syfy is also launching yet another supernatural-themed series with 'Paranormal Witness,' about those who've lived through experiences with ghosts and aliens and are anxious to share their tales, and in a series that seems much more appropriate for Syfy, 'Face Off' will be a competition series for special-effects make-up artists.

Meanwhile, if Marcel's new cooking gig doesn't pan out, SyFy might consider Jimmy Kimmel's idea for a cooking show that would be perfect on the network: 'IronMan Chef America':
