Cooking comic might be next Food Net Star

We’re watching the Food Network when a promo for “The Next Food Network Star” pops up and we see among the contestants for the new season Cory Kahaney.

Is a New York City native that is no stranger to the spotlight. Cory has previously been featured on Last Comic Standing, Comedy Central and The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. When it comes to cooking though, Cory is serious about great food. She considers her style MAMMA cooking – grounded in the classics of Mediterranean, Austrian, Mexican, Middle Eastern and Asia.

The reality show puts people with various levels of experience in cooking and catering and restaurant running to the test and tries to determine which might be the best to host one of the networks 200 or so cooking shows. She is one of three contestants who has some experience in front of the camera, so she is probably a favorite to win.
