TV Media Weekly | May 31 - June 6, 2014 By Andrew Warren TV Media I t's a dream that so many of us had when we were kids: the dream of one day being famous. Whether it was a life as an A-list actor or a leg- endary rock star that came to life in our daydreams, the glam of fame and fortune was irre- sistible. It takes a special kind of kid who wants to grow up to be a star on the Food Network, but that's exactly the dream that a lot of their elders have. "Food Network Star," the network's annual search for the next big thing in culinary TV kicks off its 10th season Sunday, June 1, with a tantalizing mix of famil- iar and new. On the familiar side of things, the three mentors and judges from the past two sea- sons are returning once again. Celebrity chefs Bobby Flay, Gia- da De Laurentiis and Alton Brown are all back — although the familiar formula is getting mixed up for the trio. No longer will the team of hopeful chefs be divvied up into three com- peting teams helmed by the iconic Food Network stars. In- stead, the familiar faces will be on hand to mentor all of the contestants and, ultimately, judge who's got what it takes to be a Food Network star. Another familiar note is the return of "Star Salvation," an exciting web extra similar to "Top Chef's" popular "Last Chance Kitchen" that was add- ed to the mix last season. In it, the eliminated chefs duke it out against each other to earn the right to re-enter the competi- tion. But, naturally, there's a new twist: the first two contes- tants in the "Star Salvation" kitchen will be fan favorites from previous seasons who've been invited back for a second chance at stardom. There's more to "Food Net- work Star" than just the name, too. The winning chef earns their own show on the network, a platform that could potential- ly catapult them to be the next Guy Fieri (who, incidentally, got his start after winning the show's second season). With a dozen contestants hoping to prove themselves both in the kitchen and on the camera, and the exciting "Star Salvation" keeping things hot online, season 10 of "Food Net- work Star" is shaping up to be an out-and-out culinary battle to the finish line.
