Food Network Seeks Next 'Network Star'
NEW YORK - The Food Network is beginning a nationwide talent search for "The Next Food Network Star." The hunt will be documented on a series of specials slated to air next year.
The winner, who will be determined by Food Network's viewers, will host a six-episode show that will premiere in September, as part of the network's weekend "In the Kitchen" programming block.
"We're looking for someone who has a great personality, unique style and a working knowledge of food and cooking," said Kathleen Finch, senior vice president, prime-time programming, in a statement Monday.
Both professionals and amateurs may apply. Applicants must submit a three-minute audition tape. Tapes will be accepted until Nov. 30. Contest rules are posted on the Food Network's Web site.
