The debut of Chopped Canada drew record numbers for the Food Network but the follow-up was a bit of a fail. The reality competition show normally airs at 10:00 p.m. ET on Thrusdays. All viewers in Montreal and Toronto got at that hour yesterday, however, was a rerun of Restaurant Makeover.
After that, damage control was on.
Thanks for sticking with us! Due to technical issues, tonight's new episode of @ChoppedCanada will air at 11 ET/PT.

Some were grateful for the late start.
Thanks to @ChoppedCanada for delaying till 11pm (after service !) so we can cheer on @DanielJanetos tonight! #ChoppedCanada :)

And a few loyal fans proved that old cliché about Canadian civility.
.@KRam41 Lucky to have such great (+ extremely patient!) fans. Thanks again, we appreciate your understanding.
