Food Network Star Finalist: Whitney Chen
The battle for the next Food Network Star is in Rachael's kitchen and after eight weeks of competition it's down to six finalists! For today's challenge they must create a classic American dish while fielding a question from the audience. Next up is Whitney Chen, a New Yorker who says her winning strategy is to bring what she calls "4-star flair" to home cooking. "I'm going to teach you what I know about techniques," Whitney promises, "and show you step by step how you can really up the ante!" She is making white chicken chili two ways with a cool version for summer and one with gourmet garnishes for entertaining. "That is your 4-star chili!"
