You could be the next big reality television chef

If you’ve never worked in the restaurant industry but always thought you could make it as a chef — you could be on television. Producers are casting Gordon Ramsay’s new show, MasterChef, and one of the open casting calls is at The Culinary Center of Kansas City on Sunday, January 17, from 12 to 5 p.m.

The show is from the producers of The Biggest Loser — whether that’s a positive or a negative, I’ll leave that to you. The concept is that Chef Ramsay helps a collection of amateur cooks and foodies transform themselves into master chefs — one can only assume with a mix of cajoling and caustic humor. It’s also described as an “inspirational cooking show,” so perhaps, the budding chefistas will be spared the wrath of Ramsay.
