Congrats to Aaron “Big Daddy” McCargo, Jr. for wining the Next Food Network Star! (I usually wait until Monday night to watch with Brian since we watch Masterpiece Mystery on Sunday nights but he knew I couldn’t wait!) At this point, there wasn’t a clear-cut front runner so I knew it could be anybody’s game. After watching their pilots, I thought it was between Lisa and Aaron. Lisa really won me over after her pilot, and although I’d never cook style of food, she seemed to make herself accessible and she looked great. However, Aaron has been my favorite since the beginning. Half way through the season, I didn’t think he’d come near the end, but he got it together and pulled it off. Congrats again, buddy! Check out Aaron’s videos and info about his new show Big Daddy’s House, premiering Sunday at 1:30pm.
