AMERICA’S NEXT BIKINI CHEF CASTING
The first-ever Figure Flattering Chef competition TV series AMERICA’S NEXT BIKINI CHEF
Featuring talented women who excel in preparing healthier, flavorful dishes while maintaining active lifestyles. Contestants compete in various regional rounds across the United States, with the finale possibly filming in the US Virgin Islands.
Regional winners receive $10,000 plus $5,000 towards their favorite charity. The Grand Prize winner will receive an additional $25,000.
Winners will be included in the first-ever America’s Next Bikini Chef cookbook allowing them to highlight their culture and cuisine as well as participate in culinary and active lifestyle events.
The series is the brainchild of Susan Irby, known as The Bikini Chef, who has over 25 years in the culinary industry. Certified in Food Healing and Fitness Nutrition, Susan has authored 11 books and hosted the award-winning “The Bikini Lifestyles Show” on PBS TV and KABC Radio Los Angeles. Her approach emphasizes “Figure-flattering flavors” by focusing on lean proteins, high-fiber foods, and healthy fats – the PFFs.
Planned as a multi-mini-series, the show features female contestants ages 25-55 competing on 3 levels. Contestants must present a PFF compliant dish (lean Protein, high Fiber food, and healthy Fat), demonstrate an active lifestyle activity, and answer the question “What does The Bikini Chef® mean to them?” [ See full application and Contest Rules for details, links below ]
The first-ever Figure Flattering Chef competition series, America’s Next Bikini Chef®, features online casting followed by invitation-only, in-person filmed auditions/competition possibly in 6 regional markets with the grand finale to be held possibly in the US Virgin Islands before a LIVE audience.
