The Next Food Network Star

Do you have what it takes to be the next Food Network Star? I don't :( I'm only 20 years old, but perhaps you're 21 or above and know your way around a range. Apply here!

I think my friend Rayfil of the Campusfork blog would be perfect. He's got the enthusiasm and know-how to teach viewers countless Chinese dishes and culinary techniques. You can take a look at his audition clip and learn how to make delicious Bali noodles. Enjoy!
