Yes, "Lost" is a rerun tonight.

Nevertheless, Mike Hughes thinks you might want to watch it anyway, along with his other must-see pick for the night.

"THE CHOPPING BLOCK" DEBUT, 7 P.M., NBC

Cooking shows face one immense barrier: Viewers can form their own opinion of a singer, a model, a design -- but they can't tell how the food tastes.

Wisely, "The Chopping Block" involves much more than the food: It's a fun look at people trying to start a restaurant.

Here are eight duos: One is married, one is engaged, one is divorced. The others are brothers, sisters, cousins, friends, a mother and daughter.

They're split into two teams (four duos per team), to create competing New York restaurants. Along the way, they're advised and criticized by Marco Pierre White, who is said to be the man who trained Gordon Ramsay (Fox's "Hell's Kitchen") and others.

Like Ramsay, White speaks his mind. Unlike Ramsay's, that mind is not one-note; White will praise, prod, cajole, demonstrate and discuss what makes a restaurant succeed.

"LOST," 8 P.M., ABC

Leaping back and forth in time, juggling different realities, "Lost" manages to be both fascinating and bewildering.

Now here's a second chance to see a pivotal hour. There's no new episode until next Wednesday, but this rerun from last week is a key one.

Time has shifted again and the survivors find themselves in a turf war. They're overwhelmed -- except for Sawyer, a master at lying and improvising.

This hour leaps back and forth over a three-year span, then ends with a jolt. Please don't try to understand it; just soak it in.
