The Rachael vs Guy Premiere!

Jan 4, 2013 at 6:14am by Dean McDermott

A little over six months ago I put my culinary school skills into action with my first gig at the Andaz Hotel on Sunset Blvd. It was an unbelievable experience–further reinforcing my desire to be a chef.  Sure I've cooked for T and the kids for some time, but now I was creating a unique gourmet menu and sharing my knowledge of kid-friendly meals with others. Since then a lot has been happening with the fam, and while I've been showing off some recipes on Hallmark's Home & Family, I haven't been able to put my skills to test. Until now…

This Sunday, January 6th, you'll get a taste of one of the biggest cooking challenges I've faced yet, the Rachael vs. Guy's Celebrity Cook-Off. As part of Guy Fieri's team, I'm eager and scared to death to be working with one of my favorite chefs. This is an incredible opportunity and I'm pretty stoked to be working with great people, spending time honing one of my biggest passions, AND having the opportunity to raise money for the charity of my choice.  


The cooking challenges will be intense, so make sure to tune in this Sunday for the show's premiere at 9 pm/ 8 pm Central. 

-Dean

      I was seriously telling my husband I am not watching this show anymore if Dean gets kicked off! Way to go with that omelet. PS Please please do another season of Tori and Dean Home Sweet Hollywood! :)

      I was also in the audience for the taping of the first show. I have absolutley no idea how your dish was not the winning dish. It was to DIE for! Please share the wonderful recipe with us! Without your recipe I dont think I will ever be able to eat polenta again...just wont level up! Keep cooking the way you do and you will win this cook-off hands down!

      Saw the article in Entertainment Weekly. Kudos to Dean- he got quite
      a bit of praise from Guy! Looking forward to watching and some new cooking ideas.

      Hey Dean, best of luck for the day!!!! Perhaps you will your own cooking show on T.V someday. That would be awesome!! Hopefully the Rachael vs Guy's celebrity cook off will be available on YouTube as I'm in Australia and the show is not aired here.
