Each week, one finalist is eliminated. The process continues for nine weeks, until August 2nd, where (insert name here) is crowned The Next food Network Star! You didn't think i was actually going to tell you the winner did you? Of course not, but I will give you some inside info.
Episode 1 is packed with FN (Food Network) personalities, and tension and drama already arising between some finalist. Its a group effort and some one will not make it to see their second challenge.
I will try to give you BTS (behind the scenes) facts each episode. Episode 1 (the cooking and serving challenge part) was actually filmed over two days, not one, as it appears in the show. There are some minor unshown injuries in the kitchen, lord knows I have cut myself PLENTY of times when cooking. Episode 1's Evaluation was the longest of the season....6+ hours long, straight through, condensed into like 12 minutes of the show.
Now enough news on the show, you gotta watch it to see more! Its okay to watch, your doctor recommends it, and its the best addiction to have this summer.
The job ends on June 19, and the next day.... I AM COMING HOME TO VISIT!!!! I can not wait to see y'all and be around those that I am so blessed to have in my life. I will be planning time to see everyone so let me know when you are available. So I can schedule time to SEE YOU!!!!
This past week was really enjoyable, I had family in town, which is always a good thing, and enjoyed their company and laughter. I also this past weekend attended the LSU Alumni Crawfish boil here in NYC and joined a zydeco band. By joined, I mean the thoroughly enJOYED my two-stepping and jitter bug, so much so that i was invited to play with them, for the entire 3 and 1/2 hours. It was like a life dream come true to get to be in a band, one with good music and I even sang some of the songs, all while playing the washboard!
I got a new apartment! As of July 1, I will be living in Astoria, Queens. Its the new up and coming part of Queens that is known for its food, neighborhoods and fresh markets! the place is COMPLETLEY newly renovated, ceramic tile, appliances and gets me out of the situation I was in at my old place. I am so blessed for the opportunity and hope to enjoy it.
I am going on a second interview on June 12 at 3:00PM with CBS Sports so please keep me in your prayers. I interviewed once already and will do so again soon. I am placing my FULL TRUST in God, knowing that He will orchestrate whatever, no matter the outcome, and His plan for my life is still what I seek.
Until Next time. Peace, Love, and NYC!
