Watching Melissa win was so exciting for me. She has come so far from day one, and will continue to knock the socks off the world. Overall, I had an amazing experience and wish the best for all the finalists in future. Looking back on all of this I would have not changed a thing, but [...]

The presentation with the kids I would have rocked because I do that kind of stuff for my niece and nephew. The Rachel Ray would have been a piece of cake because I have really improved my performance in [...]

If I had had the opportunity to be part of this episode and give a budget-friendly [...]

When I auditioned to be on The Next Food Network Star, I thought my culinary skills and 12 years of experience in the commercial kitchens at Doral Arrowwood in Rye Brook, would take me far. I definitely didn’t think I would be leaving the show in week two.

While I wish my time on The Next [...]

After counting down to the premiere episode of The Next Food Network Star for months, it was crazy to finally watch the episode with family and friends (who I made be silent during the episode so I didn’t miss anything!)
