Gambling News - July 21st, 2009 - Written by Bonnie

Jamika has prepared her final dish and lost her chance to be the Next Food Network Star. Jamika, who started out as a favorite, fell just short of reaching the final three. Her bright smile and sassy attitude seemed to carry her a long way in this competition but was not enough to hold her place. She seem to slowly loose control every time something did not turn out quite like she expected. Loosing focus and getting sloppy with her dishes ended her dream of being the next Food Network Star.

Jeffrey took the Red Lobster challenge which earned him a spot in the final three and his winning dish will be featured on Red Lobster's menu. Although he manged to impress the judges, he did not escape tough criticism. He was warned to express his dishes with a real culinary point of view and less of a lifestyle. He was reminded that customers want to be excited not only about the taste of the dish but of the appearance of the dish as well.

The Red Lobster challenge went well for Melissa as she delivered a dish that exemplified how to take control of habanero peppers in a tasteful way.
Debbie on the other hand did anything but impress the judges in the Red Lobster challenge. As the judges critiqued what they called her self serving dish, if was not any worse than what Jamika served up which sent her packing.

We are left with our final three contestants all hoping to make it to the final cook off. America is already making predictions on who is going to be named the Next Food Network star and here is what DSI Sportsbook has to say about it.

Debbie Lee                +150
Jeffrey Saad               -135
Melissa D'Arabian      +150
