The Food Network star and restaurant owner will be one of five investors and judges on the show, which will crown the winner with opening it's own restaurant chain.
"America's Next Great Restaurant" comes from "Top Chef" executive producers Jane Lipsitz and Dan Cutforth. The show will put contestants through a series of tasks to decide the best restaurant concept.
The five judges will also put up some of their own money to invest in the winning restaurant, which will open in three cities.
Interested applicants for the series should go to the link below to pre-register for an open casting call at one of the eight stops on the nationwide casting bus tour.
Along with a completed and signed application and a photo ID, casting teams want applicants to bring anything they feel would help pitch their restaurant concept.
