Ted Allen (born May 20, 1965) is an American writer, cookbook author, and television personality. He was the food and wine connoisseur on the American Bravo network's television program Queer Eye and has been the host of the TV cooking competition series Chopped since its launch in 2009, and of "Chopped Junior," which began in mid-2015. In April 13, 2014, he became the host of another Food Network show, originally called America's Best Cook; a retooled version of that show, retitled All-Star Academy, debuted on March 1, 2015. In early 2015, he also hosted a four-part special, Best. Ever., which scoured the country for its best burgers, pizza, breakfast, and barbecue. He is a longtime contributing writer to Esquire magazine, the author of two cookbooks, and regularly appears on the Food Network show The Best Thing I Ever Ate and other television cooking shows.
Personal life
Allen was born in Columbus, Ohio, the son of Donna K. (Evans) and Lowell Reese Allen.
Allen is openlygay and lives in New York City with his partner of 20 years, Barry Rice. On June 26, 2013, he announced that he was engaged to Rice. On July 30, 2013, the two were married in New York City.
"Baking is problematic for me because I usually drink a lot of wine when I cook!"
"You know the great irony is that people think you have to have money to enjoy fine food, which is a shame."
"Jay Leno is not a guy who likes change. He eats the same food every day."
"Six months ago, I was just a writer for Esquire, typing up in my little garret on the far north side of Chicago, and no one had any idea who I was."
"We're not out to turn rugged straight guys into weenies who paint their fingernails."
"I'm in a loft and the kitchen is in the very center of the apartment. The whole place revolves around it."
"I like to have friends in the kitchen and make a big mess and use every pot in the kitchen."
"If I have committed any culinary atrocities, please forgive me."
"I know that the single guys on the cast (which is everybody but me), hmm, well a lot more people flirt with you when you're on TV."
"However, I was a restaurant critic at Chicago magazine before I worked at Esquire, and I've been a really enthusiastic home cook for a long time. It's just something I'm passionate about."
"Thom is one of those wonderful people to cook for because he absolutely loves it, just loves it. He loves to eat and drink and he'd be a great guest at any dinner party."
"I'm a home cook and love to read about food, but I'm not trained as a chef. I'm just really into cooking and passionate about it."

[VERSE 1] These voices they tell me go. Why should I ever go? Man I'm so comfortable here, Why should I head to a place where people live in fear? Stand off it's the real year, something they can really feel. See, I'll never get, why the earth is a puzzle that'll never fit. I'm out of their world. So why should I leave my sanctuary? Man, The whole thought of that is scary. How do I know that their kind will hear me out. Will they understand I'm flying a different route. Pose as a human being, mother moon tells me that I need my help. I guess these are the cards she threw out and dealt. She said I gotta do it alone, She said I gotta do it alone. I guess I gotta go. [CHORUS] You gotta do it alone man, You gotta do it alone. You gotta do it alone man, go on your own. Its bigger then you man. Its bigger then you. Its bigger then you man. [VERSE 2] She said to pack my bags dawg, and never look back. This is something that I have to do. A hero, to save the world. A hero, with no girl and no family. Just sacrifice as a friend, and struggle is the enemy. But weed is the remedy. And if you get lonely boy, you can just roll up a dutch and keep ya head high. Wanna see home, look at the sky. Remember your not strange, but your not the same man. [CHORUS]
