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.

Congratulations to the Next Food Network Star Aaron McCargo Jr.

Thursday night The Food Network accidentally posted the winner of this season of The Next Food Network Star, Aaron McCargo Jr. They also accidentally posted a clip of the moment he was announced the winner of the competition reality show, which airs tonight.

From the premature posting of his new show on the website’s drop-down menu, his show will be called, “Big Daddy’s House.”
