Next Food Network Star 2010 Winner: Aarti Sequeira
Next Food Network Star 2010 Winner: Aarti Sequeira – Update: Aarti Sequeira and her magical recipes have won the competition, beating fellow contestants Tom Pizzica and Herb Mesa.
Who do you believe is the “Next food Network Star?” Will they be able to take all of the heat that Rachel Ray is dishing out? She will be directing the Top 3’s pilots for the shows that they have chosen to launch. A focus group will take a look at each of the program, and one of them will receive their own show on the network. If the other two are good enough, the network will also likely take a look at picking up their shows.
Herb Mesa used to be an overweight child, and claims that he really knows cuisine. He has had a hard time coming into his own in front of the camera, but over the course of the last few episodes he has really been able to figure out the type of show that he would like to run and hone his skills.

Tom Pizzica has a big personality in front of the camera. He has been the front-runner for most of the show to receive his own show on Food Network, and going into the final week his victory will depend on his final performance and the pilot for the show that he would like to make.
Aarti Sequira, a popular food blogger, brings her Indian-style cuisine together with an American taste that has made her the favorite of many viewers. It will be interesting to see what the pilot of her episode looks like. The fact that she specializes in Indian cuisine could potentially limit her fan base.

I think Indian cuisine the way Aarti portrays it on TV defintely makes it more exciting. She shows it more as a way to extend what American’s already know and love and gives it another dimension. What’s not to love? Another way to make pizza? Add tikka masala to the toppings? BBQ – here are some more spices you can try… I think she will be a fabulous addition to the Food Network.

Well for two seasons now I could have told you who would be picked about half way through the season, because no matter what they did wrong the judges made excuses for them. Either of the two guys would have been better picks for this season. You have lost a loyal watcher for the next show. I am already tired of hearing about Aarti’s mother and her lame stories.

I won’t be watching her show for two reasons. This is not a style cuisine I’m particularly interested in but the main reason is I don’t care for her at all. I was rooting for Herb but either he or Tom would have been the better choice in my opinion.
