Johnston resident Alexia DiGiglio-Mancini is back on Food Network starring in “100 Cooks,” the biggest home cook competition in the network’s history. After starting her “U Had Me at Kitchen” Facebook and Instagram social media accounts and broadcasting her Italian-American cooking skills to a national audience, she was first picked up by Food Network show “The Kitchen” in 2020.
She was notified last fall that she was in the running to participate in “100 Cooks,” which airs on Sundays at 9 p.m. (ET) on Food Network and streams the next day on HBO Max. DiGiglio-Mancini swapped a music career for the kitchen stage, and has no regrets.
