One of the contestants on the new show Restaurant Express looked familiar to me. I briefly wondered if she had been on another Food Network competition show. Then I realized she was on a local show. In fact, I had written a blog post about her in 2012.
Jan Charles appears regularly on WVLT with Chef Walter. I used to watch the cooking segment daily until my work schedule changed. I missed the fact that Jan was away over the summer, shooting the new series.
The Greeneville newspaper explained that Jan was discovered because of her YouTube videos and WVLT appearances.
