Rosebud Benitez

Rosebud Benitez is a Filipina celebrity chef and the host of Quickfire, a 10-minute television cooking show broadcast several times daily on GMA News TV (formerly known as Q), a sister station of GMA Network.[1] The show is considered to be one of the most easily recognizable productions of the alternative network, with an offshoot bestselling DVD compilation of highlight episodes.[2] Before Quickfire, Benitez was part of the culinary group program Ka-Toque, Q’s first-of-a-kind that spawned a whole new generation of broadcast cuisine productions and chef-hosts.[3] Though wedged within a smorgasbord of equally sociable young chefs in Ka-Toque, Benitez became the first in the group to be given a solo show and the only non-actor to be invited by GMA Artist Center to join its register of contract stars.[4]
