  Who has the worst kitchen in America?
 
  We’re not talking about bad cooks, just a bad cooking area.

  Home remodelng network DIY is teaming up with Food Network Magazine,to find home cooks whose kitchens need an overhaul.

Starting Thursday homeowners across the country can vie for a chance to win the ultimate chef’s kitchen by uploading an image or video to DIYnetwork.com that shows why their kitchen is in need of a complete overhaul. 

One lucky winner will receive a unique and specially tailored renovation courtesy of DIY Network’s home improvement experts and Food Network Magazine. 

“We’re searching for a homeowner who loves to cook, in spite of having a truly terrible kitchen to do it in,” says Kathleen Finch, DIY Network’s general manager. “Once we find the worst kitchen out there, DIY Network and Food Network Magazine will combine forces to build a brand new kitchen designed specifically for our winner.  We’re giving away the ultimate food fantasy.”

Hosted by licensed contractor and host Matt Blashaw, the winner’s new kitchen will be documented in a one-hour DIY Network special premiering in January 2011. In addition, the winner will receive a lifetime subscription to Food Network Magazine, and will be featured in the January/February 2011 issue.

Food Network Magazine readers and DIY Network viewers have until Friday, Aug. 6, to enter.
