Can cooking inspire romance?

Plenty of reality television shows — “The Bachelor,” “The Farmer Wants a Wife” — have tried to find the right ingredients for romance. Now, with “Feed Me,” the reality-dating genre heads for the kitchen.

Shot in short webisodes, the Brooklyn-based series pairs up self-described single foodies and films them cooking for each other in a professional kitchen. The show’s creator, Adam Pollock, chooses which two people are compatible to go on a date.

Sound like fun? The show’s website states that they are currently looking for future reality stars:

“It’s all about food and coversation. Think ‘My Dinner with Andre,’ except it’s you, and someone foody, smart, and hot.”

The New York Post and blogs such as Grub Street have already begun to dish about the show. Best-kept secret? The producers even do the dishes.
