The Next Food Network Star

I have been enjoying the 60 minute reality show, The Next Food Network Star on the Food Channel. The show is down to the last two contestants. The two finalist, Jeffrey and Melissa. I am actually surprised by Melissa’s resiliency. I thought for sure she would be gone after week 2 or 3, but she has risen to the challenge and I actually believe she can beat Jeffrey. The winner of this reality show will get their own Food Channel TV show. That’s a great prize and a pretty good job.

The show began 8 weeks ago with 1o contestants. Similar to The Apprentice, the contestants faced various food challenges. The challenges allowed the viewer and the judges to taste the food, and see the personalities of each contestant. Integrity was a huge issue for some of the contestants. Some were more honest than others, making some of the episodes frustrating for me as a viewer. In the end integrity prevailed and Debbie, one of the most talented chefs on the show demonstrated poor character week after to week. I am very glad that she is gone this week. Integrity s very important. Whether you are the Next Food Network Star or whether you work as a ditch digger.

I think this would be a fun opportunity. It’s a job. It’s a career choice for all of the chefs on the Food Network. I love the diversity of people on the Food Network. I am more interested in seeing the Next Food Network Star be successful. It has been fun watching the show and I am planning to watch the show next week to see which of the two finalist will be crowned the next Food Network Star. Take a look at the show and loet me know what you think.
