Would you like to cook on TV?
Cooking on television is an absolute blast! Here’s a clip of me cooking my Crawfish Mac & Cheese from our menu at Heritage East that aired yesterday!
Whether you are cooking on a news or daily show type segment, or gunning it out to the finish like I did when I was on the Food Network’s Chopped, it’s all about planning, mise en place (having everything prepped and organized), and setting realistic expectations on yourself and what you’re capable of doing under pressure and strict time constraints.
The first step however, doesn’t involve knives or fire. It is networking and developing your own personal brand to go along with your restaurant’s. To get the opportunity and invitations to cook on TV you first have to be visible to the community and have a presence that producers want to share with their guests.
We will deep dive on self image, personal branding, and media networking in the Sous/Exec level courses in the future!
Are you ready to step in front of the camera? Let’s discuss in the comments!
