Celebrity chef Bobby Flay is starring in a new reality show for NBC next season, and he'll have a casting team in Raleigh on Monday looking for contestants.

The big prize -- the chance to open your own restaurant chain.

The show is tentatively titled "America's Next Great Restaurant," and Flay will be an investor, judge, and mentor to contestants.

Contestants do not need to have any previous cooking or restaurant experience to try out. Producers say they are just looking for "a great idea for a unique restaurant concept."

So you think you have the next big idea for a chain restaurant? Here's your chance.

NBC is bringing an open casting call to Raleigh Monday for a new reality show called "America's Next Great Restaurant." Celebrity chef Bobby Flay is involved in the show. His role, according to the press release, will be "an investor, judge and sometimes mentor to the zealous contestants who are vying for arguably the biggest prize in reality show history -- the opportunity to open a new restaurant chain in three cities across America."  

Kitchen experience is not required. The press release says, "Participants do not need to have any cooking or restaurant experience -- just a great idea for a unique restaurant concept."

The second stop in the cross-country casting call tour will be from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. at the Chipotle, 6102 Falls of Neuse Rd. in Raleigh.

Before you show up, be sure to log onto nbc.com/casting to pre-register. Then on Monday, bring your filled out and signed application and a photo-ID, and "anything they feel would help pitch their restaurant concept. Elements could be visual, edible or even wearable and applicants will have a limited time to pitch their idea," the press release says.   

The premise for the show is this: Each week, Flay and a panel of judges who will all be investors in the final idea will put the finalists through challenges to discover whose concept will be selected as the winner.
