I always suspected David liked Meredith ""The Blue Jean"" Chef better than Bob. I think Bob Warden was closer to Bob Bowersox.

Interesting legal development from a few years ago...

Thank you so much for providing the court documents! I do remember (obviously some time ago) that he would mention his girlfriend on air & appeared smitten. I particularly do not like that the Q let him go before all the facts were in!

Losing his job, unable to publish his books and an attempt to tarnish his reputation by the woman he once cared for- what a shame! I noticed that when he is presenting the Ninja on the Q, he does not allow David nor Rick to interrupt his presentation! I guess Bob is really angry--and well he should be!

I don't understand why there isn't room for everyone. Come on people. You have to realize that there are very few people in any of the 'cooking' or 'selling' kitchen appliances unless David is on. He's in almost every segment.

Not a complaint. It's just that they can only have but so much time for everyone to get on the air.

Could there have also been a problem with both Bob and David wanting to publish cook books? Back when I did watch (a long while ago) I did notice some tension between the two of them. I don't see David as someone who wants competition for power in the kitchen!

Why does everyone always assume there must be a problem? People move on from jobs all the time, they change their priorities and decide to do other things. That doesn't mean there was a problem. There is info online that says he is working with Ronda Pierson on a new TV series with celebrity chefs.

I think so too. After Bowersox was let go, it seemed Warden's days were numbered too, by his own choice, theirs, or both. It's too bad, I like them both.

After reading the legal notice posted here, I see why Bob is gone. When I first started watching the Q, he would talk about his family and mention his wife. As time went on he never mention them, but one day mentioned a girl friend. So now we know how all that went.

I too miss him, and he writes great cook books.

It's interesting how some definitive conclusions are made based on very questionable foundation of facts. I've seen Bob doing presentations within the last 6 months with David and there were absolutely no indications of any tension. To the contrary, they seemed to be getting along and enjoying the presentations wonderfully.

How come, when you see some limited presentations where there is no strife, the assumptions you are making are correct. But when someone else has seen presentations where there was definitely strife on air (and it was posted about on here by more than one person) those posters are deriving conclusions based on questionable foundation of facts? Unless you've seen every presentation from the time David took over, I'd say it's the pot calling the kettle black.
