They want to make you a (cooking) star!


Think you're the next Giada DeLaurentiis or Bobby Flay? (They laugh at your presumption!)

Food Network is throwing a bone to the little people who want to be big cheeses. They will be holding open-call auditions to find aspiring TV chefs for the reality series "The Next Food Network Star." Applicants have until Friday, October 12, 2007 to send in a three minute audition tape explaining why he/she should be Food Network’s newest star. Applications and contest rules can be downloaded from http://www.foodnetwork.com/.

Contestant hopefuls can also apply in person at one of five open-call auditions that will be held around the country. Applicants should bring an application, photograph and resume and/or bio to the auditions, which will allow them to meet with network casting directors. The closest location is New York, NY - Monday 9/17/07 from 11 a.m.- 4 p.m. Food Network Studios, 75 Ninth Ave. (Chelsea Market)

The series is set to tape and air on Food Network in 2008.
