FOOD SHOW HOST CASTING CALL [General]

2011 Apr 19
Are you the next Guy Fieri? We are looking for an outgoing, people-loving guy between 25 and 45 who is passionate about food and can converse with those who make it. You might be a restaurant owner, bar tender, chili cook off contender or just a foodie - you don’t have to be a chef but you have a knack for explaining taste sensations. If you are also comfortable in front of crowds and camera, able to travel, then make us a 2 minute test video following this guide.

Have a friend who can cook whip up a quick dish. As you observe, give us some entertaining running commentary. Taste the food – engage the person who is cooking and the viewing audience. You are not a microphone toting interviewer, you are a keen foodie - with a great sense of humour - who wants to taste something great.

Please submit ASAP:
• (as pdf) a clear and current head shot and a full body shot
• a resume outlining your background and expertise. (No previous tv experience required.)
• a link to your video

"Are you the next Guy Fieri?"

Whoever you select this time around, make sure they know proper manners and don't talk with their mouth full or chew with their mouth open.

It's a food lover show... not an etiquette show... should another requirement be that you drink your tea with your pinky extended?

Guys only??? Boo-urns ;)

That is kind of sexist. Women should be allowed to apply.
I could even make a good video clip of visiting somewhere with food..restaurant,store or market...

"Whoever you select this time around, make sure they ... don't talk with their mouth full or chew with their mouth open. "

Part of the magic is seeing what the food looks like at ALL stages.
