Eddie Jackson, the new Food Network star
Houston’s own Eddie Jackson was just crowned Food Network’s latest star. According to Food Network,
After 11 weeks of Mentor and Star Challenges testing both culinary chops and on-camera comfort, as well as constructive feedback from mentors Bobby Flay and Giada De Laurentiis, one hopeful finalist has risen to the top to become Food Network’s newest Star. Eddie Jackson, a former pro footballer, scored the ultimate culinary touchdown tonight when he was crowned the Season 11 winner.
Star Talk was on the set of the finale and caught up with Eddie just moments after he took in his victory. He dropped to his knees in overwhelming emotion, then welcomed hearty congratulations from his fellow competitors, as well as the Selection Committee and the president of Food Network, Brooke Johnson. “I’m beyond speechless,” Eddie said. “This is a feeling that I’ve yet to feel.”
Eddie Jackson’s new show will be titled BBQ Blitz. It is premiering on the Food Network on October 9th, 2015.
