Jess and Chris continue their monthly journey into the weird world of single seasons TV shows with the pilot episode of yet another series canceled by FOX, Kitchen Confidential (2005).

The show, created by David Hemingson, follows the comeback of once-famous chef Jack Bourdain as he, along with his ragtag group of chefs, attempts to regain credibility and fame in the crowded restaurant scene of New York City. Based on the book of the same name by chef Anthony Bourdain, it's a biting, hilarious, and irreverent look at somewhere very few folks get to see: the back of the house at a fine dining restaurant.

Jess and Chris talk about the show's pilot "Exile On Main Street," along with some of the background behind the show's conception as well as its cancellation. They also talk about the similarities and differences between the show and its source material.

You can follow Jess @writerjessbyard, Chris @casualty_chris, and the show @oneseasonshow along with a big thanks to Curtain Peepers for their song "Who's Lovin Me."
