The celebrities who become members of Anne's Worst Cooks In America Celebrity Edition team will be a lucky bunch. She is a fun, patient, kind, and experienced teacher. It is no wonder that Anne has been such a strong mentor to her recruits, as she has had a long culinary career as a chef.

Known for her spiky blond hair, Anne is a 52-year-old chef from Cazenovia in upstate New York. According to her bio on Food Network, she developed a passion for food at an early age. After she graduated from Canisius College in Buffalo with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and Communications, she enrolled in the Culinary Institute of America to pursue her interest in the restaurant business. When Worst Cooks mentor Anne graduated, she went to Italy for a year, where she attended the Italian Culinary Institute for Foreigners and worked in two highly regarded restaurants. This year of Anne's life truly made an impact on her culinary point of view as she learned to "appreciate and understand the philosophy of Italian cuisine and culture."

When Worst Cooks mentor Anne returned to the United States after her time in Italy, she was hired as a sous chef at Felidia, a New York City restaurant owned by esteemed chef Lidia Bastianich. After this experience, she became the chef at Savoy, where she developed menus inspired by Mediterranean countries and cooked over an open wood fire. It was at Savoy that Anne developed "her personal culinary style: rustic food made with pure and simple ingredients with intense flavors." The now Food Network celebrity chef became a teacher at the Institute of Culinary Education for three years. After that, Anne returned to the restaurant business working as the executive chef at Lumi and later Centro Vinoteca. In spring 2017, Anne opened her own restaurant in Brooklyn with legendary bar owner Phil Casaceli, called Phil & Anne's Good Time Lounge. However, the lounge closed in April 2018.

Anne got her first break as a television chef in 2005 when Iron Chef Mario Batali asked her to serve as one of his sous chefs for a pilot taping of Iron Chef America. In 2008, Anne began starring in her own Food Network show, Secrets of a Restaurant Chef, which aired for nine seasons. She also made frequent appearances on The Best Thing I Ever Ate, beginning in 2009. Anne got her next TV break as a mentor on Worst Cooks in America in 2010. In 2012, Anne starred in Chef Wanted with Anne Burrell, which aired for three seasons. She also makes appearances on Beat Bobby Flay and is the author of two cookbooks: Cook Like a Rock Star and Own Your Kitchen.
