Food Network in search of 'Next Food Network Star' contestants
The Food Network is already searching for outstanding chefs and home cooks to compete for the opportunity to win his or her own series for the sixth season of "The Next Food Network Star."
The network will conduct a nationwide talent search and encourages both professional and amateur chefs to apply. Open-call auditions will be held around the country throughout July and August. Contestant hopefuls should bring an application, a photograph and a resume or bio to the auditions, which will allow them to meet with network casting directors.
