Hello, Serious Eaters! Have any of you ever received a call from a casting company for "an upcoming cooking show project"? I just received a random call about casting for a show and this has never happened before. I've won some contests in the past but have never tried to be on a show or anything. I've done a little research and came across a blog

that makes it sound like people are cast by character type rather than by ability. I thought it might be fun to give it a shot since I just retired but am nervous to do so without an idea of what I might be in for. Thanks all!
