Be a chef. Or just play one on TV.
There are no secrets to getting yourself cast on a reality TV cooking show.
You need to check a few websites to learn about open casting calls and applications for auditions. Often this information is posted with very short notice, so check regularly and often. Most casting notices are posted on either Reality TV Casting Calls or Reality Wanted.
Follow instructions. Only apply if you meet the show’s requirements. Adhere to deadlines.
Cultivate a screen persona. Give the show’s producers a few personality traits or quirks to latch onto. You don’t need to stray from your true self so much as pump it up a bit.
Cooking shows that are currently casting:
Top Chef: Just Desserts
Bravo is casting for a spin-off from its Top Chef series of high-stakes culinary competitions. Auditions are open to professional pastry chefs. Open calls will be held in cities across the country.starting on October 26.

Foreplay: The Cooking Show
According to the show’s producers, they are looking for “a real guys’ guy with a great sense of confidence and charisma -from Jamie Oliver to Gerard Butler’s character in The Ugly Truth if he were a chef. You must be a real chef, and be able to “talk the talk” when it comes to food.”
