Twelve Food Network Star hopefuls arrive at the beautiful and historic Orpheum Theater in downtown Los Angeles, hoping for their big break. Upon their arrival, Giada De Laurentiis and Bobby Flay greet them with some troubling news: they have to pass ... (more)one more big audition before they will officially be considered finalists. But that’s not all, there is one more person joining the competition, and that’s the winner of Food Network Star: Comeback Kitchen. Special guests Robert Irvine and Monti Carlo help Giada and Bobby decide who will be the first competitor sent home.
