Bobby Flay is putting his culinary expertise to use on NBC’s "America’s Next Great Restaurant," according to Variety.
The premise of the show is to find a chef and/or entrepreneur to help open a restaurant. The producers behind Bravo’s "Top Chef" will conduct a nationwide search for contestants during a cross-country bus trip stopping in New York, NY; Raleigh, NC; Chicago, IL; Kansas City, KS; Denver, CO; and Los Angeles, CA.
Opening a three-city restaurant chain serves as the coveted prize. Flay, along with four other restaurant and business leaders, will be an investor in the prospective restaurants. The celebrity chef will also be a judge and mentor. According to Variety, "America’s Next Great Restaurant" is on the menu for sometime next season.
