Think you can cook? Film it and you could win!

The National Restaurant Association is calling all culinary professionals and enthusiasts ranging from professional chefs to amateur home cooks, culinary school grads and foodies. Show off your cooking skills and enter the 3rd annual NRA Hot Chef Challenge 2010 for the opportunity to experience culinary stardom during this year's NRA Show, May 22-25 at Chicago's McCormick Place.

How to enter: Film an original two minute (or less) video demonstrating your recipe and submit your video to their YouTube page by Thursday, April 29. Recipes must include at least one fresh produce item, plus any other ingredients of your choice. For inspiration, competitors should refer to the National Restaurant Association's "Chef Survey: What's Hot in 2010" for ideas ranging from super fruits to black garlic, ancient grains to heirloom tomatoes.

How to win: YouTube users will view and rate each video submission. One lucky winner will be chosen by celebrity chef and Top Chef Masters Season 2 participant, Marcus Samuelsson, last year’s Hot Chef Challenge winner, as well as a panel of food critics and foodservice industry professionals.

The Grand Prize: One grand prize will be awarded and will showcase your creation alongside celebrity chef Marcus Samuelsson in the World Culinary Showcase at the NRA Show 2010. You'll also receive three days and two nights at the Affinia Hotel Chicago during the NRA Show, a special wine-paired dinner at Chef Marcus Samuelsson's acclaimed Chicago restaurant C-House, in the Affinia Hotel Chicago!

Readers, do let me know if you enter. I don't have a chef's kitchen or anything, but I am thinking through the logistics of it... wouldn't it be neat to film from the other side of my stove, to see the face of the chef as they cook? Anyone want to borrow my kitchen? :)
