The Next Food Network Star’s Brett August: The Challenges of the Challenge

Making burgers to impress Bobby Flay couldn’t have been an easy task and it was great to see Mike win and represent for New York.
It was really interesting to watch the Intrepid challenge. When you have a challenge with mystery ingredients, it really pushes you to bring all of your culinary skills to the table. It also forces you to be creative and use ingredients in new and different ways.
You may think The Next Food Network Star is just a cooking competition but it is so much more than that, and the Intrepid challenge is proof of that. It’s crazy to think about how much is going on in such a short amount of time. Not only do you have a limited amount of time to prepare a dish that impresses the selection committee and is worthy of being presented to the troops and their families, but you have to work effectively in an unfamiliar kitchen and, in some cases, use unfamiliar ingredients. If that isn’t challenge enough, you have to showcase your personality during the presentation while communicating your culinary point of view and clearly explaining your dish.
As the challenges get harder and the competition stiffer, it’s certain that things will become more intense for the competitors and more exciting for viewers to watch. One thing is for sure, it certainly doesn’t get any easier to watch people get eliminated, especially after experiencing it yourself.
