Food Network Star Season 11 Episode 1 Now Available To Watch

The eleventh season of Food Network Star is scheduled to begin on Sunday, June 7th, but you can currently watch the first episode for free multiple ways.  I have Comcast cable, and it is available for free On Demand (I did TV Shows A-Z, then picked show Food Network Star).  Also, the Food Network site has the episode available, but you will have to enter your cable provider information.  If you have a different cable provider such as Direct TV, Verizon, etc. leave a comment to confirm if the episode is available on demand there as well.

The first episode of Food Network Star introduces the contestants and they are then challenged to produce a 30-second introductory video and serve a dish to 100 people at a food festival.  They are judged by Giada De Laurentiis, Bobby Flay, Bob Tuschman, Susie Fogelson, and a People editor.  I will not spoil anything in this section, but lets just say I think there will be a new "most-hated" Food Network Star contestant this year.


If you are interested in who will be hated and who was eliminated during the first episode continue reading/scroll down.  Also, if you want more information about this season, visit this post.

















The contestant who will be hated due to how he acts on the episode is Matthew Grunwald, who you may remember from Cutthroat Kitchen and the Cutthroat Kitchen: Evilicious tournament.  He is still talking about hashtags.  I can't wait to see the comments after people watch the episode, but the show may keep him around for some drama.

The top three contestants from the challenge in this episode were Jay Ducote, Eddie Jackson, and Arnold Myint.  The bottom three were Matthew Grunwald, Dom Tesoriero, and Christina Fitzgerald.  The judges decided that Christina would be the one going home and she will go on to compete in Star Salvation.
