Pennsylvania native Adam Gertler shared his humorous take on food throughout season four of The Next Food Network Star. Now, he pairs his comedic timing with an adventurous spirit in the new series, Will Work for Food. The series exposes Adam to the world of little-known food jobs as he fearlessly puts his life and mouth on the line to try them all! Whether taking honey from three million bees, sculpting ice with a chain saw, foraging for truffles, or digging a wine cave, Adam will do anything in the name of food.

Premieres: Monday, January 19th at 8:30pm ET/PT on Food Network

Adam Gertler Will Work for Food On His Own Show

It’s not often in a reality competition show when both the finalists are actually winners. However, it can be said this time around on The Next Food Network Star. Last week Camden, NJ native Aaron McCargo  Jr was crowned the winner of the reality competition show, and his show, Big Daddy’s House aired for the first time on Sunday. But the runner-up, my hometown boy, Philadelphia native Adam Gertler will be getting his own show, too.

Gertler’s show, titled Will Work for Food will have the actor, restauranteur and improvisor doing a kind of “Dirty Jobs” type of show with food industry jobs.

“On ‘The Next Food Network Star,’ Adam exhibited a unique combination of quick wit, passion for food and an engaging personality,” said Bob Tuschman, senior VP for programming and production for Food Network. “He earned millions of fans across the country, who have let us know that we have a second star in our midst. We feel this series is a perfect fit for his talents, letting him showcase his brand of humor while he works for food.”

Some of the jobs Gertler will be working at will be a potato chip tester and a dog food taster. Considering Adam’s personality and sense of humor, his show should be a hit.
