For interesting recipes, chefs, and shows, you can can count on the Food Network. They also run plenty of sweepstakes. Is anyone else following this year's “Food Network Star?”. If you're not familiar with it, it is an elimination contest where the participants are competing for their own show on the Food Network. I'm rooting for Jeff, the self-proclaimed Sandwich King. And I'm really hoping that Penny gets sent home next. I can't taste her food, but I can see her personality, and it ain't pretty.
One of the judges is established Food Network Star, Bobby Flay. Chef Flay's speciality is the grill. There is a Food Network sweepstakes running right now where the Grand Prize is a trip for two to a premier food and wine festival. What a great opportunity to watch talented chefs in person and taste their food. And wine.
Or maybe you're at the other end of the spectrum where boiling water and opening a Pop Tarts box are about as gourmet as you get? If you're willing to share your kitchen horror on video, you can participate in the Worst Kitchen in America Contest. If your kitchen wins the honor of “Worst”, you could win a complete kitchen renovation; appearance in a future special television program about the renovation project featured on the DIY Network; feature of winner and the renovation will appear in an issue of the Food Network Magazine and more. Whether you are an experienced foodie, a home cook, or a kitchen disaster, there's a Food Network sweepstakes just for you.
