When the Food Network’s popular reality show “The Next Food Network Star” returns for its sixth season on June 6, two Austin chefs will be among the 12 contestants.

Dzintra Dzenis, 44, owns and operates Plate by Dzintra, a supper club and catering business. She graduated from Le Cordon Bleu in Paris. Brad Sorenson, 25, opened Black Creek Bistro in Columbus, Ohio, when he was 22. A graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, he recently relocated to Austin and works at ASTI Trattoria in the Hyde Park neighborhood.

Hosted by Bobby Flay and set in Los Angeles, the show follows 12 contestants as they compete for the chance to host their own show on the Food Network. The chefs take part in challenges in which they have to cook for a celebrity or use a specific ingredient. Guest stars this season will include Food Network personalities Giada De Laurentiis, Rachael Ray and Paula Deen and singer Colbie Caillat.
