Anthony Anderson Adds 'Eating America' to his Growing List of TV Gigs

Doink, doink — it's Law & Order time. No it's not, but that's the first thing that comes to mind when I think of Anthony Anderson. (Hey, it's not my fault that he was so memorable as Detective Kevin Bernard that the crime show's iconic opening sound automatically pops into my head.) However, because it's not 2010 anymore, Anderson has very much moved on from Law & Order. He's switched things up and is now the host of the Food Network's new show Eating America , which follows Anderson as he tours food festivals around the country. AKA he's the new Guy Fieri, but without the crazy frosted tips.

But what has the actor actually been up to besides testing out the waters of the food-show world? Take a look at what he's been doing with his life as of late.
