Ann Marie Stefaney

Bravo

Pastry Chef - Charlotte, NC
Ann Marie was an Army brat born in Germany, yet she doesn't feel she gained a unique world view from all the traveling she did as a military kid. She identifies as gay and proud of her gold star status. Single and consumed with her job - she reads cookbooks in her spare time. What excites her about this project is the different beliefs, standards and cultures that will be together in close quarters. Ann Marie considers herself someone that is able to "break bread" with people who don't agree with her lifestyle choices.

Real Estate Broker – Miami, FL
Andrew sells high-end luxury homes in Miami and describes himself as socially outgoing. He grew up in a very diverse family being raised Jewish, with an African-American stepfather and brothers, and a sister who lives in Maine with her fiancé Emily. When it comes to speaking his mind, Andrew says "the truth hurts but the measure of a good friend is someone who tells it anyways." He doesn't think he'll be uncomfortable in rural America and plans to go into this with an open mind hoping to walk away with a new understanding. He's interested in seeing how lesser developed brokerages operate and he'd like to help them on a larger scale.

Lamar Moore

Personal Chef - Chicago IL
Born and raised in Chicago, Lamar was introduced to culinary arts through his grandmother who was and still is a huge influence in his career. He has since worked his way from line cook to one of the most talked about chefs in his area, and routinely gives back to the community helping teach kids to cook as a way in life. Lamar considers himself a Christian, having grown under his mother's teachings through the church. He's curious to see how other people live and appreciate a different form of America. "Food is a universal cure for a lot of issues. It allows you to take yourself away for a moment from all the seriousness, have a seat at the table and eat."

Melissa Meier

Bartender – Brooklyn, NY
Born in South Jersey and raised by a single mother, Melissa grew up with three gay brothers and considers gay rights a personal and civil rights issue. She currently lives in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Before it closed down, Melissa worked at a bar that was a hot spot for political activism, conversation and discourse. She prefers dive bars to upscale bars because she likes to be able to talk and interact with her the patrons on a personal level. Her true goal in life is to develop human connections with everyone she meets through laughter, and maybe even some swearing. Although part of her family is from Wisconsin, she's never spent any real time in the Midwest and is looking forward to forging connections with her new town, regardless of political affiliations or even despite them.

Zachary Morad

Hair Stylist – Los Angeles, CA
A self-described "Barbie Boy" since birth, Zachary has always had a knack for beauty. Raised under an Arabic father who initially struggled with his son's sexuality and a tier of strong women encouraging him, he set his sights on New York City. After moving to New York at 18-years old with his father's acceptance, Zachary got a job at the Warren Tricomi salon in the Plaza Hotel where he honed his craft. He has since styled hair for the MTV Video Music Awards, Oscars, Emmy's, New York Fashion Week and on TV shows such as Project Runway. A fiscally conservative registered Republican, Zachary thinks he shouldn't be judged for leaning to the right. He's in this for the experience and to learn the truth about the small towns he knows nothing about.
