Tyler Florence
After 20 years as a host on the Food Network, Tyler has captivated millions of viewers on numerous hit shows including âWorst Cooks in America,â âThe Great Food Truck Race,â and âCome Back Kitchen.â Tylerâs insatiable quest for whatâs current and interesting in the food space has always kept him on the forefront of new trends, gaining him a large social media following and making him an influencer, a role he has always comfortably inhabited.
Amanda Freitag
Through her work in professional restaurant kitchens, as a food television personality and now author, Amanda Freitag has become more than a chef, she is âThe Chef Next Door.â While the moniker is derived from the title of Amandaâs first cookbook, The Chef Next Door: A Pro Chef’s Recipes for Fun, Fearless Home Cooking (Houghton Mifflin; 2015), it also aptly conveys both
her professionalism and warm, accessible personality. These traits have served her well as a judge on Food Networkâs hit series, âChopped,â and as the co-host of Food Networkâs âAmerican Diner Revivalâ with Ty Pennington.
Grace Ramirez
The Miami-born chef, cookbook author and TV personality was a former producer and director who spent a decade working in TV, first at kidsâ channel Nickelodeon, then MTV and finally the Food Network. The kitchen called, so Grace made the life-changing decision to quit her job on the networkâs biggest show, âThrowdown with Bobby Flay,â and competed on the first series
of âMasterChef USA.â Grace moved to New Zealand, where she was a judge on âMy Kitchen Rules New Zealand,â and her show âDestino Con Saborâ was the first local production for Food Network Latin America. Her second cookbook is coming out this spring.
Scott R. Feldman, Founder and President of Two Twelve Management stated âI am so pleased to announce the addition of such outstanding and talented clients to our platform. We look forward to continuing to build our clients and their brands as they expand into a myriad of new areas of activation and audiences worldwide.â
