Are you a hopeless home cook? Or is someone you know totally incompetent in the kitchen?
Food Network is looking for the most disastrous home cooks around the country to participate in a very different culinary competition show!
This is the opportunity of a lifetime—to work with the best chefs in the country and learn to cook like a professional. Seeking people with a genuine inability to cook, but a need and desire to improve!
NOMINATE YOURSELF
* Has your wife told you it was probably better if you ordered take out?
* At the big potluck dinner, are you always asked to “just bring the napkins?”
NOMINATE SOMEONE YOU KNOW
* Is someone you know constantly offering you food that you have to turn down?
* If you know a dad/mom who can’t scramble an egg, a colleague who can’t convince anyone to try their culinary creations, or a guy friend who tries but can’t seem to get it together in the kitchen, this is your chance to get them the help you BOTH need!
