All Star Kitchen Makeover

Alton Brown - Ann Arbor, MI Nic Sims, an Ann Arbor, Michigan mother of two works as a personal chef for many families, is enrolled in a two-year culinary education program, and in the process of starting a catering business. With such a varied background in cooking, you'd expect her to already have a great kitchen, but her former one left a lot to be desired - it even had a toilet in it! See how Alton used his food smarts to whip her up a fun and functional cooking space.

Paula Deen - Mystic, CT When Shelly and Brian Brouwer purchased their home in Mystic, CT, they knew that its 100-year-old farmhouse kitchen was in desperate need of help. Thanks to Paula Deen's innovative design sense, they now have their very own modern day culinary retreat with French country accents.

Bobby Flay - Las Vegas, NV David Gomez, a Broadway dancer and Pamela Stivers, his jazz-singing fiancee, left New York City for a new start in Las Vegas, but they hit the jack-pot big time when they won Food Network's All-Star Kitchen Makeover. Thanks to Bobby Flay, the couple's new outdoor kitchen includes a full bar, an entire area devoted to grilling, and even a fireplace!

Emeril Lagasse - Harlem, NY At The Children's Storefront, a tuition-free school devoted to the arts, 200 meals are prepared each day. Prior to winning the All-Star Kitchen Makeover, the school's cooking space had antique dishwashers, limited counter space, and a freezer in the basement. Thanks to Emeril Lagasse, the kicked up kitchen and cafeteria now have state-of-the-art appliances, ample space, and art-covered walls.
