Want to Become The Next Food Network Star?

I am a terrible cook. My "cooking" consists of boxed pasta, jarred sauce, 1-minute rice, steamed vegetables, over-medium eggs, and....yup, that's basically it. That is why I dine out so much and rely on the talents of our city's fabulous chefs. But are YOU an amazing home cook? Dare to test your culinary skills on national TV?

Then this is for you:
