All-Clad in Glory: Auditions for The Next Food Network Star

This is a call to all those whose brioche is as shiny as their hair; whose smile has convection oven wattage; a call to the ones who can’t sit down to a chicken salad sandwich for lunch without roasting a bird and making mayonnaise.
Food Network is in town tomorrow in search of contestants for their reality show, The Next Food Network Star. From what we’ve seen on seasons 1-4, serious cooking chops are absolutely required, packaged into a well-defined personal brand. What can you do that no one else can? With a knife and food products, I mean.
Camden native Aaron McCargo Jr. took the top prize in Season 4 and now has his own FN show, Big Daddy’s Kitchen. Adam Gerlter, Philly boy and co-owner of shuttered BBQ-and-karaoke den the Smoked Joint, made the finals and snagged a show of his own, Will Work For Food.
With all of the obvious talent floating around the Philadelphia metro area (I’m looking at you, Stephanie Reitano), one of you food nerds better make the 10 finalists. Bring your résumé or bio and photograph, along with an application you can download here, to meet with casting directors at the audition tomorrow.
The Next Food Network Star Casting Call, Oct. 29, 10 a.m.-3 p.m., Embassy Suites Center City Philadelphia, 1776 Benjamin Franklin Parkway
