Aarti Sequeira

When it comes to interesting female celebrity chefs, Aarti Sequeira comes to mind right away. For those unfamiliar with Sequeira, the Indian American chef was actually a winner on The Next Food Network Star. And it is this win that we think would make an excellent topic for discussion during a meal.

However, it is not just her sixth season win that makes Aarti Sequeira someone we would want to dine with, there is also her judging on Guy’s Grocery Games. It is her judging gig that has helped to really let us know this chef following the competition. Not only has she proven to be a very gracious judge, but she is also honest, understanding, and genuinely quite nice.

I think it would be fascinating to talk to the chef about not only her time on The Next Food Network Star, but also what it is like working with people like Troy Johnson (a fellow judge on Guy’s Grocery Games) and Guy Fieri. Plus, I think it would be interesting to learn more about what it takes to be a cooking competition judge, considering how subjective that can be.

At the same time, this would be a great opportunity to learn more about Sequeira’s cooking and what it means to her to be a Food Network star. Considering, she is known for her use of spices and her Indian cooking, it would be so much fun learning more about her style of cooking outside of her work with television.
