On last night's episode of the Next Food Network Star [1], the remaining seven contestants faced challenges introduced by Tyler Florence [2] and Iron Chef Michael Symon [3]. With Tyler they had to create a 60 second video in which a culinary technique was explained. While some featured a simple skill like slicing a pineapple or trussing a chicken, others had to perform more difficult tasks like Frenching a rack of lamb and cleaning raw squid. Although I enjoyed the challenge — it clearly highlighted the contestants with culinary training — I couldn't help but wonder if it was a little unfair. What did you think?
