You Could Be the Next Food Network Star

The cast of Next Food Network Star, Season 4.
Who will follow the greatness of Next Food Network Star winner alums Guy Fieri and Aaron McCargo Jr.? It could be you. Grab that friend who's good with a camera and, before Friday, October 31st, send in a three-minute audition tape explaining why you deserve to be on Food Network. And even if you don't win, follow the lead of last season's runners-up Lisa Garza and Adam Gertler, and snag your own show anyway!

Hmmmm. Very coast-centric. What about the mid-west?

Maybe the next group can actually cook. That way the show will be interesting.

I'm no pro, but I think I'll embarrass myself and send it a tape. What's the worst that could happen?

Nearly 200 reality-TV hopefuls showed up at Portland's downtown Marriott last Thursday for a crack at competing on "The Next Food Network Star." But instead of trying to elbow their way to stardom a la "Survivor," they exchanged pleasantries like they were at an office mixer.
The room's charismatic centerpiece, however, was Teddy Wells, an actor from Hawaii with a roaring laugh and giant shell around his neck. He's been on "Baywatch," "Fantasy Island" and "Lost."
"You'd probably remember me best from my one scene in the operating room, where Ben elbowed me and I escaped," he said of a "Lost" appearance. For five hours, men and women, young and old, switched seats to be next to him.
