Adam Gertler

As a contestant on season four of The Next Food Network Star, Adam Gertler revealed his energetic passion for food and fun-loving sense of humor. Adam grew up with a supportive family who encouraged him to explore his many interests including an acting career that began in fourth grade. Whether as a short-order cook, server, caterer, or even donut filler and froster, food has undoubtedly played an important role in Adam’s life. He developed a true passion for barbeque while in college and began experimenting with unique ideas and recipes while catering for friends and family. Adam soon helped bring the barbeque experience to Philadelphia as the executive chef of The Smoked Joint from its opening in November 2004 to its closing in July 2006. Adam has also channeled his love for food and acting into volunteer work, from teaching theater to grade-school children to catering for non-profit organizations like the Philadelphia Red Cross. When not cooking or performing, Adam enjoys an eclectic mix of hobbies including harmonica, karaoke, and a 20-year-and-counting comic book collection.
