The Next Food Network Star Tryouts

In my humble and uninteresting opinion, this show gets better every season! It takes a mix of normal every day people, some restaurant chefs/owners, some culinary school grads and puts them into a reality show to see who will come out victorious and earn their own show on the growing Food Network channel! Starting on October 3rd, tryouts for contestants on the upcoming season will be held statewide. Whether you decide to apply online, or in person at one of the various casting locations across the U.S., we want to wish you the best of luck, and if you win…maybe your show can be called “FoodBeast: You Tryin’ to Eat?!” Or, maybe not…
