If you're a fan of the offbeat culinary scene in Brooklyn, you've no doubt heard of Do Or Dine, the Bed-Stuy eatery known for its eccentric culinary antics. What you might not know, however, is that owner and chef Justin Warner has been competing on a reality cooking show and he's thisclose to winning! Warner has been wowing judges of The Next Food Network Star—the show that bestowed Guy Fieri upon us—with his off-beat creations and now he's secured a spot in the Final Four. Whoever wins this week will get their very own FN cooking show, and that winner will be decided by a fan vote on the show's website.
While Warner has our vote (just feast your eyes on his infamous foie gras doughnut or the calcium lactate pickleback shot), there are three other finalists well worth mentioning: Martie Duncan (Alabama), Michele Ragussis (also of Brooklyn) and Yvan Lemoine (New York by way of Venezuela). You have until Tuesday night at 5 p.m. to log your vote for any one of them (up to 10 times a day!)... but only one of them can spit mad raps about Rosé:
