The Daily Star, Oneonta, N.Y., Friday, February 10, 2012 10 A/ Olsego Manor B/Warm Solutions 2 x 2.5 by so-called "loved ones" for their horrendous cooking abilities – are split into com- peting teams led by the Food Network stars. They'll pick up new skills and improve on their abilities as the stars guide them through a series of challenges each week leading up to the April 8 fina- le. Despite the title of the Bobby Flay and Anne Burrell during a casting call for "Worst Cooks in America" Team Burrell battles Team Flay in Season 3 TV Media B eau MacMillan couldn't do it. Neither could "Dinner: Impossible's" Robert Irvine. Recent "Next Iron Chef" candidate Anne Burrell has managed to reign supreme as the undefeated team leader through two seasons of the Food Network's "Worst Cooks in America." And while it might be that she has a knack for bringing out the best in some of America's most cooking-challenged, the competition is about to get a little stiffer for Burrell. Enter Bobby Flay. Arguably one of the Food Network's biggest stars (not to mention a long-time Iron Chef), Flay has signed on as Burrell's rival team leader in the third installment of "Worst Cooks in America," bringing a whole lot of cooking star pow- er and his vast know-how to the competition. The season is set to kick off Sunday, Feb. 12, and the premise remains the same: 16 candidates -- each nominated show, the purpose of the competition is not to confer the title of "Worst Cook" to one individual. In fact, it's all about the journey – the win- ner will be the contestant who will have performed the best throughout the competi- tion, and whose skills will have improved to the point of impressing some seasoned pros. The premiere sets the stage for each candidate's progress, as they will all want to avoid the stigma of being the first one to be eliminated. Upon their arrival, they'll have to present their signature dish to Burrell and Flay. Once the teams have been selected, they'll then be thrown into a breakfast-themed challenge: Burrell's team cooks up some Orange Pumpkin Pancakes With Vanilla Whipped Cream and Cinnamon Maple Syrup, while the competing team prepares a very Flay breakfast of Bobby's Blue Corn Pan- cakes With Whipped Orange Honey Butter and Cinnamon Maple Syrup. Sounds easy enough? Don't forget some of these candidates can barely pre- pare eggs properly, so there will likely be a basic lesson or two for each team. In the end, it's all about helping candidates improve themselves (while making it entertaining for viewers, too). The two remaining candi- dates will represent each team leader in the final com- petition, as judged by some of the top chefs. The winning team leader will get bragging rights but the winner will get to walk away with a $25,000 prize – and hopefully some well-deserved praise from those "loved ones" who nominated them in the first place.
