New show highlights amateur chefs

STAFF REPORT~ 1/18/2012

Bagel Boy Productions, at Runway 21 Studios in Scottsdale is looking for amateur chefs and cooks for their new show, “The Great American Amateur Kitchen”. The show, with host Simon Stanley, will be visiting the homes of regular people across the country spotlighting normal, everyday Joe’s and Josephine’s as they prepare dishes that they are “famous” for.
Stanley, an Anthem resident, is asking people to send him an email with their favorite home-made dishes. They will select three of the best each week and send the American Amateur Kitchen Tour Bus, filled with a production crew to people’s kitchens. Surrounded by a TV crew and a bevy of family and friends, these aspiring, albeit amateur chefs will then get a chance to cook their “signature culinary masterpiece” – a dish that will be shared with a national audience.
The Web/Television series is set to begin shooting in February and plans to tape a full slate of 13 episodes shot in cities across the country. People are urged to nominate themselves, friends or family on the show’s website at americanamateurkitchen.com.
