And the Food Network Star Fan Favorite Is...

food network star fan vote

Fans of Food Network Star can't choose the winner, but they are the voice behind choosing a fan favorite. All season long, viewers voted for their favorite season 7 contestant as many as 10 times a day.

With over 400,000 votes, it's no surprise that this year's winner, Jeff Mauro, was also crowned our Sandwich King. Not far behind him with 360,000 votes was Orchid Paulmeier, who fans loved for priding herself on her Southern barbecue.

Tune in to Sandwich King : Saturdays at 11:30 a.m. Eastern/ 10:30 a.m. Central
