Want to Be a Food Network 'Restaurant Battle' Star?
I wanted to pass on word of a casting call for 24 Hour Restaurant Battle, the Food Network’s new restaurant competition series. It comes from the producers of The Next Food Network Star.
They write:
We’re thrilled to be coming to DC and can’t wait to meet candidates from the area! The details of our events are as follows:
WASHINGTON DC OPEN CALL
Date: Monday, February 22, 2010
Time: 10am – 3pm
Location: Zentan Restaurant/Donovan House Hotel
1155 14th Street NW
Washington, DC
We are looking for:
* Two to five person teams with pre-existing relationships (brother and sister, mother and son, husband and wife, etc.) who would love the chance to prove that they can run a restaurant.
* A dynamic front of house and back of house duo. One person on the team will run the front of the house and the other person on the team will be the chef and run the kitchen. All levels of experience (culinary school trained to home cook, little or no restaurant experience to a lifelong career in restaurants) will be considered.
* Lots of energy and charisma! We’re seeking personalities that pop.
