'Food Network Star' Season 7 Premiere: First Eliminated Contestant Is... (VIDEO)
For its seventh season, 'Food Network Star' (Sun., 9PM ET on Food) has dropped 'The Next' from its title and gained a permanent judge in Giada De Laurentiis, who served as a mentor last season.Fifteen hopefuls kicked off their dreams of getting their own show, including Jeff Mauro, who considers himself 'The King of Sandwiches,' and Vic 'Vegas' Moea, who already has the Hollywood name.
!!SPOILER ALERT!!
In taking a quick look down the list of contestants' current occupations, one seemed to stand out more directly than all the others. While there were a lot chefs and owners of restaurants, food and catering companies, there was one guy who's none of these things. He's a radio host.
So perhaps it should have come as no surprise when he was the first person eliminated. Clearly, 'Food Network Star' is a place for professionals only. Does that mean the two food bloggers will be the next to go?
Howie Drummond said getting eliminated from 'Food Network Star' "is the first thing that I've really ever failed at," so it looks like he's off to do some more winning, just somewhere else. Maybe Charlie Sheen needs a personal chef/DJ. He's all about "Winning!"
