Sharon Shvarzman (35)

Brooklyn, New York

Kitchen manager at a daycare facility

• Sharon once competed on Worst Cooks in America and later went on to win The Great Food Truck Race.

• He was inspired to start cooking after his master chef grandfather passed away from pancreatic cancer. Sharon realized that his grandfather’s cooking was the glue that kept his family together.

• Sharon sought out his grandma, Dora, to teach him how to improve his baking skills. He says his sufganiyot and babka now rival hers!

• He loves Hanukkah dishes because he says he knows his way around a fryer. He loves fried food and how fried food is comforting and satisfying.

• His latkes, schnitzel and kugel are some of his favorite dishes - he says there isn’t a Jewish dish that he hasn’t tried to make and perfect.

• Wants to show the world that he has grown and improved since he was on Worst Cooks in America.
