That's right: The Food Network is coming for
you, Portland . Or at least for your cooking skills.
And, oh yeah,
HGTV wants
your house .
The Next Food Network Star is a competitive hunt in search of the next Raechel Ray or Bobby Flay ; each season's winner is awarded his or her own "HGTV cooking show." The application guidelines emphasize "personality that pops" and familiarity with "the basics" of cooking.

Bang For Your Buck is taping its first season now. Each episode evaluates three comparable home remodels and seeks to determine who, in fact, got the most bang per buck.
