Who has the worst kitchen in America? DIY Network, the go-to destination for home improvement television, and Food Network Magazine, the only magazine in the epicurean category to offer unprecedented access to America’s favorite TV chefs, are teaming up to find home cooks whose kitchens are cramping their style. Starting Thursday, June 24, homeowners across the country can vie for a chance to win the ultimate chef’s kitchen by uploading an image or video to DIYnetwork.com that shows why their kitchen is in need of a complete overhaul. One lucky winner will receive a unique and specially tailored renovation courtesy of DIY Network’s home improvement experts and Food Network Magazine.
“We’re searching for a homeowner who loves to cook, in spite of having a truly terrible kitchen to do it in,” says Kathleen Finch, DIY Network’s general manager. “Once we find the worst kitchen out there, DIY Network and Food Network Magazine will combine forces to build a brand new kitchen designed specifically for our winner. We’re giving away the ultimate food fantasy.”
Hosted by licensed contractor and host Matt Blashaw, the winner’s new kitchen will be documented in a one-hour DIY Network special premiering in January 2011. In addition, the winner will receive a lifetime subscription to Food Network Magazine, and will be featured in the January/February 2011 issue.
Food Network Magazine readers and DIY Network viewers have until Friday, Aug. 6, to enter.
Viewers can also become fans of DIY Network and interact with other home improvement enthusiasts and do-it-yourselfers through Facebook and Twitter. DIY Network is available nationwide on DISH Network Ch. 111 and DIRECTV Ch. 230, and additional cable channel designations may be found by checking local listings and www.DIYnetwork.com/tv.
