Food Network Pays Tribute to Anne Burrell on Final Season of 'Worst Cooks in America' originally appeared on Parade. Food Network paid tribute to chef Anne Burrell on Monday, July 28 during the premiere of her final season as a mentor in Worst Cooks in America : Talented and Terrible.

"Something that struck me was she really cared, not only the entertainment side of things, but she really cared for the people that were there," Gabe Bertaccini says

Burrell had starred on the reality cooking show since its debut in 2010, serving as a mentor to some of the “worst cooks” each season. The 29th season of the show, subtitled “Talented and Terrible,” was filmed before Burell’s death on June 17. The debut episode of the new season airs July 28 at 9 p.m. EDT on Food Network.
