This Just In …
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Just as Atlanta winds down from the fallout of the city’s own Richard Blais making it into last season’s “Top Chef” finals, we get set to gear up for more. “Hell’s Kitchen,” FOX’s sometimes sizzling, sometimes silly look into chef and host Gordan Ramsay’s demented way of running a kitchen (last season he threw up in a trash can after tasting a contestant’s food), is having an open casting call here.
If you’re a chef, cook or otherwise culinary-related professional, you’re eligible to take your chances at the show’s open call at Artistry restaurant in Midtown, October 10 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
“We’re trying to focus more on established chefs this season,” said Louis A. Caric, “Hell’s Kitchen” casting producer, “but of course we welcome any Cinderella stories out there.” After all, Atlanta-area resident Julia Williams, a Waffle House cook, made it all the way to the top four in season four.
What will it take to feel the heat of Ramsay’s wrath? Show up with “experience and personality,” said Caric, who added that the prize for this year’s winner is “one of the biggest ever.” The open call will consist of an application and verbal interview; those winnowed from these will be asked to callbacks soon after, though Caric would not specify as to when.
Artistry is located at 942 Peachtree Street, N.E., in Midtown. For more information, got to www.fox.com/hellskitchen.com, or call 424-21-2880.
Will we have another ‘top chef’ on “Hell’s Kitchen?” Who would you choose?
