Innovative New Concept for ‘America’s Next Great Restaurant’
A new reality show airing tonight on NBC may be just what America needs. Not only will the U.S get a brand new restaurant out of it, reality show judging will be taken to a whole new level since the judges are the main investors and will be putting up the funds to launch the new restaurant. Nothing like having some skin in the game to make a dream become successful.
The judges are celebrity Iron Chef Bobby Flay, celebrity chef Curtis Stone, the owner of Chipotle, Steve Ells, and Lorena Garcia. They will be putting their own dime on the line to fund the winning contestant’s idea which will launch in New York, Los Angeles and Minneapolis.
In the first episode, the panel of judges will determine out of 21 finalists who will be in the Top 10. NBC clearly desires to replicate the reality show foodie success of the highly-rated “Top Chef” franchise found on Bravo TV which is a child network.
What ‘America’s Next Great Restaurant’ has going for it is being able to jump on the bandwagon and watch a fellow American achieve that ever elusive ‘American Dream’. The U.S audience can be a part of the journey of the winner’s success eating the latest delectables. Even non-viewers have a say in the success of the restaurant since they may be frequenting the establishment in one of the three locales having no idea that restaurant was once part of reality show history. With experts like Bobby Flay and Curtis Stone at the helm, and the stakes being so high, it will be interesting to watch how successful they are.
