Staten Islander appears on new Food Network show ‘Worst Cooks in America: Love at First Bite’ - SILive.com

Is the ‘worst cook in America’ from Staten Island?

Michael Kazakov of Huguenot is among the cooking-challenged competitors who are single and ready to mingle in the Food Network’s new series, “Worst Cooks in America: Love at First Bite.”

In the eight-episode season, which premiered Aug. 6, food superstars Anne Burrell and Jeff Mauro each lead a team of fun and flirty kitchen disasters through a life-changing culinary bootcamp to transform them from cooking duds into kitchen studs.

“Attending boot camp was a blast,” said Kazakov. “I learned a ton of new skills from professional chefs, all while in the company of beautiful women. What could be better than that?”

The recruits not only learn how to make date-friendly dishes like sushi, spicy wontons and classic French pastries, they also go head-to-head in romantic dating-inspired challenges like the Cupid Games, the Bagel-orette and the Inferno Zone.

In the end, only the most improved recruit left standing is awarded a $25,000 grand prize, bragging rights for their mentor and the ability to add “great cook” to their dating profile.

“These singles are desperate to learn to cook and they have come to the right place,” said Betsy Ayala, Head of Content, Food, Warner Bros. Discovery, in a statement. “This season, Anne and Jeff have their hands full with these disastrous love-obsessed cooks.”

MICHAEL’S MYSTERIOUS ABSENCE

Kazakov, however, was mysteriously absent from the third epiosde, which aired Aug. 20, leaving fans scrambling for answers on whathappened to Michael. According to StyleCaster, he won’t be participating due to “medical reasons.”

No other explanation was given at the time, which of course meant that fans of the show took to the Food Network Reddit to speculate.
