I absolutely Love cooking and making food. I went to Culinary school for 2 years and I've read 2 of Bourdain's Books.
Hi – Hope it's not too late to apply. I have been cooking all my life, and professionally as a caterer in Los Angeles for the last 26 years – my cuisine is Caribbean-Creole, I have also worked my food booths at several local Farmers Markets including the Hollywood FM for 18 years, I have a following and quite a reputation for dishing up awesome foods. like anyone else, I would like to make some real money, and I am convinced that this can happen on your show, above all I would relish the opportunity to learn from masters like yourself – food is my passion, and I would like to share that with the world. I hope you will consider my application – and I look forward to your response.
I should be a part of this show because I have a passion for food and cooking a great dish. I am a good cook that wants to be a great chef! I have been on a reality cooking show before and That d-bag bobby flay screwed me. Im ready for this …if you want a tatted up lively gut that's ready to learn and work his ass off. Ya just found him. Cheers!
I am a fairly accomplished at Italian cuisine having won 1st place in National and International Pizza competion (World Championship in Salsimiogore, Italy)and love to make Homemade Pastas and Sauces. But this is where my cooking skills end. I owned a small succesful italian restaurant until it was destroyed by fire a couple years ago,but would love to learn from the BEST and broaden my horizons because other than the every day burger,steaks,and chops on the grille i'm lost if it's not Italian. I am so passionate about food and love pleasing people with my cooking but I need HELP!!
Love to cook. Have been cooking for greater Houston for about the last 10/15 years. I'm Houston greatest secret.( really it's moms recipes. )
I would be great for your show. Everything that Anthony wrote about in kitchen confidential could have been about me. minus the Heroin. I have a taco stand that I travel with vending at music festivals, raves, hippie fests, blues festivals, and anywhere that likes tacos. You would be stupid to not have me on your show!
Who am I? An easy answer to a simple question for some, but an Encyclopedia Britannica description for others. Those "others" includes me. I am one of those rare individuals that occasionally ponders whether the stork dropped them off at the right family, “in the beginning”. Of course, my folks and siblings look like me, but that’s as far as the commonality goes. I still haven’t figured out if I’m the one from a different planet, or if it’s them. Honestly, I think it’s me.
I suppose in a perfect world, I would have been a chef. However, after investigating that the cost of completing Culinary School was around $100,000, it didn’t bother me that my world wasn’t so perfect! Ironically though, I can't venture to imagine myself couped up in the back of some gourmet kitchen for hours upon hours per day, creating the latest delectable "gastronomies" for the most sophisticated of palates. I went to college to study Architecture, started, owned, and failed at a few businesses, drove a delivery truck for FedEx for awhile, and have probably had over 50 jobs over the last 30 years of my "career". I finally settled down and found a niche in sales, which has allowed me to support my wife and 2 lovely children for nearly a decade now.
Ultimately though, my passion is food.
Bottom line. I love food. I love the taste of it, the look of it, the smell of it, and the ambience that it creates in any situation. The best way to describe me is probably a Bobby Flay, an Anthony Bourdain, and an Andrew Zimmern, all rolled up into one complex individual. When my son wants a grilled cheese sandwich, I don’t consider it too much work to cut a fresh baked Kaiser Roll in half, butter the outside ends and place Provolone, Mild Cheddar and shredded Parmesan cheese in the middle and then put it in a Panini press to melt the cheese and toast the bread to a delectable crunch. My wife thinks I’m nuts, because my son is only 6! Doesn’t everyone make a grilled cheese sandwich like that?!? (By the way, my sons favorite cheese is Smoked Gouda – I turned him on to it). ;0)
Don’t get me wrong though; I’m not a glutton. Some of my other passions including training to be a tri-athlete (to ultimately compete in the mother of all triathlons: Ironman!), traveling, getting my kids involved in modeling, and going on dates with my wife. Never-the-less though, when all is said and done, food defines who I am. I am the chef at my house. I love to cook and experiment with new recipes and techniques. FoodNetwork, the Cooking Channel and the Travel Channel are my go to channels and primarily the only 3 of the 250 channels that I watch (including over 20,000 on-demand choices) from my cable provider. Because of this, William Sonoma by default is my favorite store. On the other hand, since my philosophy is “Champagne taste, Kool-Aid budget”, I’ve resorted to standing in the kitchen utensils aisle at Target, and perusing over the gadgets on their shelves, for hours at a time.
So that’s me; in a nutshell. I hope you’ll enjoy me sharing my passion with you.
Wow this is my chance to shine. I have been cooking every since I got my first set of play dishes and easy bake oven. My mother was always catching me in the kitchen making something. I have been told that I need to have my own cooking show. My friends are always asking me to make food for there parties. I love making peoples tummies happy.I hope you will give me a chance to try out for this new awesome show. I was a VJ for a while so I am not camera shy.
Hi– wondering what the goal at the end of the show is? will relocating be necessary for winner? what might be the outcome. Very interested.
thanks–
I would say that I can cook but I am not what you call a chef. I would love to learn from the best.

I tell my boyfriend, I am the master of the kitchen, and yes! Would you like to be trained by two of the best food experts in the business as I compete against other talented chefs?
I grew up in a cooking family. My grandmother owned a catering company in Chicago for 45 years. My mother was raised in the business and was also an amazing chef until she died last March from Multiple Myeloma. My first love is cooking for my family. I loved to bake and to open my refrigerator and create dishes from what's in the house.
I'm a united states airforce vet with two combat tour in Iraq. Now I'm a line cook, I've been cooking all of my life. I have memories of being a kid cooking with my uncle with asking me to hand him ingredient. I'm just looking for way to show my skills and passion for food.
Hello, my name is Elaf and I have a passion for food. I love all kinds of food and I love Mr. Anthony! I am Pakistani and usually cook Pakistani style foods but I can cook anything from japanese to Italian to European. Whatever is in front of me I am capable of making something delicious out of it. I would love to compete.
Although I know nothing about culinary skills like these guys do, I've loved to cook all my life. I guess you could say I'm a "bang around my kitchen" kinda gal. Would love the chance to learn from the best.
