10 J une 14 - 20, 2015 Br ainerd Dispatch By Andrew Warren TV Media I f there's any doubt out there that we're a society with a love of food, the rise of culinary celebrities should prove otherwise. Americans love celebrities and Americans love food, so when they're put together, something amazing happens. Yep, it's time again for Food Net- work's annual search for their next great culinary superstar. "Food Network Star" premiered last week and is continuing through the summer on Sunday evenings. The yearly contest puts a group of hopefuls through their showbiz paces as Food Network executives try to nail down who they think could have what it takes to be- come the next Bobby Flay ("Throwdown! with Bobby Flay") or Giada De Laurentiis ("Everyday Italian"). So what's up with this year's "Food Network Star?" Longtime watchers of the program will know that the format is switched up and tweaked every season to keep things fresh, and this year's 11th season is no exception. Twelve eager hopefuls from across the nation have come to- gether in sunny Los Angeles where they'll be mentored and judged by Flay and De Laurentiis — down from the three mentors that were present last year. Like last year, each week will wit- ness the remaining hopefuls facing two challenges that will test not only their culinary skills but also their presence in front of a camera and potential "star power." There's a good reason to test for that, too. Some of the winners from previous years have gone on to be- come some of the biggest stars that the Food Network has. Guy Fi- eri ("Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives," "Guy's Grocery Games"), Jeff Mauro ("Sandwich King," "The Kitchen") and Damaris Phillips ("Southern at Heart") are all previ- ous winners, and most of the other winners have found some success on the network as well. Also much like last season, the eliminated hopefuls have a chance for redemption. The web series "Star Salvation" is back on foodnet- work.com, where the contestants who've previously been shown the door have one last chance to get back into the competition. Some say that stars are born, not made, but of course, those stars still have to be discovered. "Food Network Star," the ultimate search for the next great culinary star, is underway on Sunday eve- nings on Food Network.
