FYI will take another bite out of its culinary-themed series Food Porn when the series returns for its second season next month. 

The series, which follows New York restaurateur Michael Chernow as he uncovers the nation’s most mouth-watering dishes, will return for its sophomore campaign on  May 14, said network officials.

Food Porn is produced by Loud TV and Bethenny Frankel’s B Real Productions, with Frankel, Nick Rigg, David George, Karen Kunkel Young and Brent Montgomery serving as executive producers.

"Next to experiencing a great meal is capturing an amazing food picture,” said Frankel in a statement. "But, even the best picture can’t tell the whole story, and I’m obsessed with the next season of ‘Food Porn,’ which continues to bring these posts to life and recognizes some incredible chefs and dishes."
