Any fans of Food Network's 24 Hour Restaurant Battle? Well, next Friday you can have the chance to join the show, as Food Network will be casting in Chicago! 24 Hour Restaurant Battle is the reality show wherein contestants have to take an empty space and turn it into a working restaurant, with a budget of only $5000. Do you have what it takes? Do you want to find out? If you make it on the show and win, you will get $10,000 to invest in your own restaurant concept - plus the fame and fortune of reality stardom and a chance to meet all of the celebrity judges.

Next Friday, from 10-1, at the Affinia Hotel, contestants will be able to present their applications. No previous restaurant experience is required . . . though we imagine that it would help. Applicants have to come in pairs of two, and the pairs should be fairly close - couples, relatives, best friends - because otherwise, you're gonna hate each other by the end. Be sure to bring photos and a completed application, available on the website.
