NBC's America's Next Great Restaurant Premier is Soo Worth the Watch!

America’s Next Great Restaurant premiered on NBC last night giving us a new food show to gush about. The first impressions of the contestants are quirky and not entirely professional. Each contestant must present a great idea in 2 minutes to the investors Bobby Flay, Steve Ells, Lorena Garcia, and Curtis Stone or see their dreams rejected. The investors are stone cold and are not letting the contestants get away with anything.

When a good idea comes around the America’s Next Great Restaurant investors don’t hesitate to say yes. That’s when you get hooked on their stories. Menu concepts ranged from healthier styled dishes to indulgent comfort food, which included an appearance of chicken and waffles. My favorite dish was the BBQ Chicken grilled cheese! But who doesn’t just love a good grilled cheese sandwich.


Here are the America’s Next Great Restaurant contestants and their restaurant concepts that made it into the top 10:
