The search for the Next Food Network Star hits Rachael's kitchen when the six remaining contestants team up to show off their skills! First up, Michael & Melissa:
Michael Proietti, executive chef at the Radisson Hotel in New Rochelle, N.Y., explains how he approaches cooking. "My culinary point of view is global a go-go," says the 28-year-old from City Island, NY. "From Bed-Stuy to Bangkok, honey, it's just everything!" Michael is paired with Melissa d'Arabian from Keller, TX, a full-time stay-at-home mom to four girls who feels that she would make the perfect Food Network star. She explains, "I'm the person who can sit down, have a cup of coffee with every single woman in America who is taking care of a baby or young kids, and give them the benefit of my experiences to make their lives in some way better."
Watch the video above to see if Michael and Melissa can successfully turn kid-friendly grilled cheese and tomato soup into "Grownup Grilled Cheese Skewers with a Tomato Basil Soup."
