Friday: Philly casting for Food Network's 24 Hour Restaurant Battle
 |
Got a note on an open casting call going down this coming Friday, Feb. 5, at the Loews Hotel (1200 Market St.) from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. It's for a new Food Network show called 24 Hour Restaurant Battle, which apparently involves five-person teams (familial relationships or some other kind of close-knit hook preferred) tackling the always-ridiculous task of running a restaurant. Kinda sounds like The Amazing Race, except with espresso at the end, or an entire series running with the Top Chef "Restaurant Wars" idea. Here's FN's official description of the show.
Check out full details on the casting call after the jump, and be sure to let us know if any of y'all end up going for it.
Food Network and the producers of The Next Food Network Star are looking for teams for a new competition series!
Have you always dreamed of running your own restaurant? Does your wife, husband, brother, sister, mother, partner or friend share that dream?
Do you make restaurant quality meals at home and want to show that you can take it to the next level? Are you a pro in the kitchen while your teammate is a star in the front of the house? Are you ready to prove that you have what it takes to run a restaurant? If so, we want to meet you!
WHO SHOULD APPLY: Two- Five person teams with pre-existing relationships: Couples, ex-husband & wife, father & daughter, brothers, sisters, twins, cousins, best friends etc. or A family; mom, dad, and kids, Grandparents, aunts and uncles, groups of very close friends, etc.
The Skills to Run a Restaurant: Applicants may have no restaurant experience, a ton of experience, or some combination of the two. One member of the team will be the chef and run the kitchen, and the another will run the "front of the house," so all we ask is that you have the skills to, as a team, actually run a restaurant.
Personality that Pops: Are you and your teammate charismatic and outgoing? We're looking for lots of energy and charm!
