I spent the day watching the Food Network's Next Big Star marathon. It's like American Idol, but in the kitchen. It was fascinating to see how much goes in to producing a cooking show and fun to watch the contestants get better at being on camera and working that kitchen as the competition progressed.
My favorite contestant from the very beginning was Reggie Southerland. He's funny, he's real, he's warm, and when he's on camera it's like you're in the kitchen hanging out with him.
If you click the link below it will take you to the show's official page where you can watch him do a cooking segment (a pilot for the show he'll get if he wins) as well as the pilot by his opponent, Guy Fieri (he was my second favorite).
And then vote for Reggie!!!!!
