Now in its third season, Restaurant Startup has Las Vegas's very own Elizabeth Blau starring alongside Joe Bastianich and Tim Love. Part Shark Tank, part Top Chef, the show pits two teams against each other to pitch their restaurant concepts to investors. The winning team gets 36 hours and $7,500 to put its idea to the test. The role is a perfect fit for Blau, known, along with her chef husband, Kim Canteenwalla, for her Vegas hot spots like Andiron Steak & Sea and Honey Salt. Were you a fan of the show before becoming involved? Our son Cole and I love all the CNBC programming. We also watch Shark Tank and Undercover Boss. Which investor did you enjoy going head-to-head against? Joe is more the restaura- teur and is incredibly financially savvy so negotiating with him is definitely more daunting. Tim is not only a chef but an incredibly smart busi- nessman. He makes the negotiations fun. 46 vegasmagazine.com SCENE television
