Australian celebrity chief Curtis Stone will join Bobby Flay as judge and investor on 'America's Next Great Restaurant,' a new NBC reality series, in which contestants will pitch concepts for a new restaurant chain, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Stone has appeared on a number of cooking and dieting shows, including TLC's 'Take Home Chef,' and 'The Biggest Loser' and is a frequent guest on 'The Today Show.' He also competed on 'The Celebrity Apprentice' earlier this season.

Also just named to the judges' panel: Chipotle founder Steve Ells and executive chef Lorena Garcia. They'll decide which contestant's restaurant deserves their backing to become a chain in three U.S. cities.

The series comes from Emmy nominated duo Dan Cutforth and Jane Lipsitz, whose 'Top Chef' franchise airs on NBC partner network Bravo.

Look for 'American's Next Great Restaurant' sometime next season.
