Adam Gertler, former co-owner of the now extinguished The Smoked Joint (does “smoked joints. nobody beats our meat” ring a bell?), runner-up on The Next Food Network Star and former host of FN’s food-industry-behind-the-scenes-type show Will Work for Food, is back again (fourth time’s the charm) for Kid in a Candy Store, a sugar rush of candy, cakes, and snacks that premieres Monday, July 12.

Gertler’s cross-country taste test of bakeries, pastry shops, creameries, and other sellers of sweet things eventually takes him to Philadelphia — specifically Flying Monkey Patisserie in Reading Terminal Market, where he tries their Kitchen Sink Brownie and the spicy Santa Fe Brownie.

Premieres Monday July 12, 2010 at 8 pm ET/PT on Food Network.
