    Various Food Shows are Currently Casting!

    Show Me The Money AltonFriday’s post about Mysticart’s nationwide search for a host for a food show got me thinking, so I did some research for similar opportunities.

    You too can be on TVFN or the Cooking Channel! These shows are for individuals (Next Food Network Star, America’s Greatest Home Cook, Cutthroat Kitchen, Chopped), teams (Food Truck Face-off, Food Court Wars), or Restaurants/Businesses (Restaurant Divided, Mystery Diners, Restaurant Impossible).  A couple of those shows can even set you up in a new business (Food Truck Face-off, Food Court Wars). You can even tell Guy Fieri where to go (in a good way) with his show Diners Drive-ins and Dives.

    The Fox shows (Masterchef, Hell’s Kitchen, Hotel Hell, Kitchen Nightmares) are casting as well.

    Here is one for DC area college students.

    I found a Bravo casting page that includes Bravo’s Top Chef but it is for the previous season. They should update it at some point.

    The Great Foodtruck Race Accepting Votes For Next Season

    Check out the official site.  They only have 3 DC Trucks listed…Pedro & Vinny’s, DC Slices, and Fojol Brothers. 

    I voted for the one I think is a best fit of the three for the show.  

    Vote away….and maybe we can get a DC Foodtruck in the next season of the show.

    Giada Book Signing in Arlington on April 3rd

    Giada De Laurantiis will be at Pentagon Row on April 3rd on the book tour for “Giada At Home.”  Here is the info (and picture) from her website:

    Book Tour

    I am really thrilled about my new book, Giada at Home: Family Recipes From Italy and California, because it’s the best of traditional Italian meals that I grew up with and my new favorite dishes that are Italian with a lighter, California flair. This book has some of my all time favorite recipes. For instance, my Pasta Ponza. The idea of Pasta Ponza came from a dinner my Aunt Raffy and I had at a family friend’s house in Ponza, which is an island off the west coast of Italy. It is so fresh and delicious. I am really excited for you all to try this recipe. I also love my Pea Pesto Crostini. It’s simple and really easy to make. It’s a great go- to recipe that never fails. Plus, it really looks beautiful on a platter! On March 29, I will be leaving LA to start my book tour. The tour will take me to many cities including NYC (for the Today Show), Boston, Philadelphia, Washington DC, Vegas, Dallas, Chicago and much more. Book tour is very busy and tiring, but so much fun because I get to meet and talk to all of you! It’s a really special time for me. Please look over my book tour schedule and contact the stores directly for more information. I hope to see you there!

    Saturday April 3, 11am : Sur La Table : 1101 S. Joyce St, Ste B-20, Arlington, VA 22202 : 703.414.3580
