Calling All Terrible Cooks!

The Food Network is holding a casting call in Charlotte, and three other cities, to find "disastrous home cooks". If you haven't taken any of the areas many cooking classes and think you might fit the bill or you know someone who does, e-mail hopelesshomecookchar@optomenusa.com by August 14 and include the cook's name, age, town, occupation, contact phone number and a recent photo.

Charlotte's casting call will be held Saturday, August 16, at the Blake Hotel and the show will begin production in late September. Contestants will need to be available for about three weeks.
