'Hell's Kitchen' Going to Charlotte

BuddyTV - USA - Casting for the new season of FOX's Hell's Kitchen has begun, and from August 6-13, the show will be looking for new contestants in Charlotte, North Carolina.

"This show looks for all types," casting producer Louis Caric told The Charlotte Observer last Friday.  "We want the trained cooks and the cooking moms.  Every type there is, we want to see what they've got."

However, there are still some qualifications that applicants must fulfill in order to secure a better chance of being cast.  Not only must applicants be passionate about food, they must also be “outspoken, competitive, and engaging.”  The show also prefers applicants with prior cooking experience.

According to the show's official website, the open casting call in Charlotte will be held on August 8 at The Pineville Dinner Theatre on Park Road.  The session will begin at 10am and conclude at 6pm.
