"Season 3 of The Next Food Network Star performed beyond our wildest expectations and we are thrilled to extend this exciting franchise into a fourth season," said Bob Tuschman, The Next Food Network Star judge and Food Network's senior vice president of programming. "As always, we are looking for people who have strong culinary knowledge and vibrant personalities who can pass along their passion for cooking to our viewers."
The Next Food Network Star's fourth season will follow a similar format to the reality competition series' previous three installments, with contestants being tested in a series of challenges and judged on their culinary skills and on-air potential for the opportunity to helm their own Food Network show. It is scheduled to both film and air in 2008.
