Aaron McCargo, Jr. is bold. That’s likely why the selection committee chose him last night as winner of The Next Food Network Star. McCargo, a 37-year-old former cafeteria chef from Camden, beat out nine other competitors for a chance at a “dream job,” the host of his own Food Network show. Bobby Flay announced in [...]
