ADAM GERTLER WILL WORK FOR FOOD!
Let the spin begin:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – Adam Gertler shared his humorous take on food throughout the most recent season of The Next Food Network Star. Now, he pairs his comedic timing with an adventurous spirit in the new Food Network series, Will Work for Food. Currently in production, the series will premiere on Tuesday, September 30th at 9:30pm ET/PT. The half-hour primetime series exposes Adam to the world of little-known food jobs, as he puts his life – and mouth – on the line to try them all!
UPDATE: New premiere date for Will Work For Food.
“On The Next Food Network Star Adam exhibited a unique combination of quick wit, passion for food and an engaging personality,” said Bob Tuschman, Senior Vice President, Programming and Production for Food Network. “He earned millions of fans across the country who have let us know that we have a second star in our midst. We feel this series is a perfect fit for his talents, letting him showcase his brand of humor while he works for food.”
Will Work for Food follows Adam on a fearless journey to learn about a wide variety of unique food jobs. Throughout the series, Adam will introduce viewers to the people who do this work the best, as he learns the tricks of the trade and tries everything firsthand. Whether he’s protecting his fingers while feeding sharks, closely examining potato chips for flaws or trying his hand as a dog food taste tester, Adam will stop at nothing to learn how each job is done.
Adam is an actor and restaurant server who has made the kitchen his stage. Adam is the former owner of The Smoked Joint – a BBQ joint he ran with his brother that brought ‘the barbeque experience’ to Philly. In June 2008, he competed on season four of The Next Food Network Star and finished as one of the runners-up. Currently living in Philadelphia, he is starting up a catering company and constantly searches for new ways to enjoy food with a side of fun.
So here’s the lesson – it doesn’t matter that your kitchen skills are a little weak, just don’t fudge on your résumé.

The interesting thing is it looks like Adam’s deal is better than the one Aaron got for winning The Next Food Network Star. Aaron’s show is on Sunday morning (or early afternoon, depending on where you live). Adam’s is on during primetime and looks to follow “Food Detectives” which is currently one of the hotter shoes on Food Network. Interesting!
Let’s face it- this is about TV and who will bring the public in. Adam displayed a camera friendly personality and was ready for prime time day one. He will be great in this show and would have been great in Aaron’s show as well. Way to go Adam.
Adam is funny but Aaron makes me want to eat! What could be better? Put Aaron in a better time slot for the lazy Sunday people.
I think Adam is SUCH a hunk and SO funny. I CANNOT wait to see more of him in my livingroom.
