Food For Thought - The Main

This week on Food For Thought, a profile of new Food Network cooking show host Anthony Sedlak.  His new show is called The Main.  To listen to my 5-minute documentary feature click here for the mp3 audio file.

According to the Food Network's bio of Anthony, he grew up in North Vancouver, BC and started in the hospitality industry at age thirteen, working as a bus boy at Grouse Mountain Resorts ltd. Anthony’s first taste of the kitchen was working as Line Cook, where he was soon promoted to Production Cook. By 15, Anthony became the youngest cook ever to be proficient on all stations at the restaurant. He has enjoyed great success at the resort’s high-end restaurant, The Observatory, working his way up from 2nd cook to 1st cook and then Chef de Partie, all the while completing the Culinary Art Program at Carson Graham Secondary School in North Vancouver. At age 24, Anthony is at the helm of the Observatory restaurant kitchen brigade. He represented Canada at the Hans Bueschken World Junior Chef Challenge in Auckland, New Zealand, March 2006.

In June 2006, Anthony participated in and won the Superstar Chef Challenge on Food Network. That led to him getting his show, The Main, as you can hear in the documentary.
