Help put Grant Park on TV!

Fox Reality TV is casting a new cooking show that will feature ordinary, non-professional cooks being mentored by Chef Gordon Ramsay (Hell's Kitchen, Kitchen Nightmares) . The show has been a big hit in England and Australia, and participants from 12 cities around the US are being selected. About 800 people showed up for the auditions in Atlanta, and Grant Park resident Alan Forde is one of 20 finalists being considered. Let's help put him, and Grant Park, on the show! Please send a short email to the producers, Mandy and Karen, at masterchefatl@gmail.com and tell them we want to see Alan on Master Chef. Feel free to forward the request to all your contacts and Facebook friends as well. The more the merrier!
