Foodie Atlanta seems to be on some kind of a roll. There should be two reviews posted by Sunday since earlier in the week we went to a pre-opening dinner at Buckhead Bottle Bar and tonight we’re headed over to La Taverna Fiorentina.
And of course, we owe you a video.
In the mean time, we got an email from Food Network letting us know that they’re looking for folks for their new season of Chopped.
Everybody I know is aching for me to apply. But before you start reveling in schadenfreude and being the worst kind of enabler, let me save you the time and tell you that I doubt I would ever do something like this.
For one, although I’m a competent home cook, I have no chance of actually performing well. For those that know me well, yes, my “spunky’ personality and my maniacal devotion to food would probably play well on TV. But I’m not sure I ever want to see myself from the third person. I know I’m a jerk, I don’t need the instant replay.
Also, as you know by now, the only reality TV I watch is Top Chef.
From the mailbag:
Hello
I hope this email finds you well. I have information about a fantastic culinary opportunity with The Food Network for the upcoming season of Chopped! Please note that we are not exclusively looking for Executive chefs, we actually want all chefs from all different levels. Additionally, we are always looking for women and chefs of ethnicity, to diversify the pool. We are looking for fun, outgoing and colorful CHARACTERS.
We’re gearing up for another round of casting for Season 6 and 7 of The Food Network’s HIT Mystery Basket Competition Series “Chopped” and are looking for chefs to compete from the Atlanta area and was hoping you might know the perfect person.
Below, you’ll find our Official Breakdown and links for more information. All that’s needed is a culinary resume and personal photo to apply.
Also, Please feel free to pass this information along to any and all chefs who might be interested in the opportunity. If you have any questions feel free to call me at [removed].
