In May 2013, it was announced that Dinki had been selected as a contestant on the ninth season of the Food Network series Food Network Star. During the course of the series, she emphasized her semi-vegetarian lifestyle, which she often referred to as her "meat-on-the-side" ideology.
Dinki was eliminated from the show on July 28, 2013, finishing in fifth place.
Her elimination was met with anger by many viewers. And a petition on Change.org for Food Network to give her her own show received over 100 signatures.
Junk Food Flip
In August 2014, Dinki filmed a pilot for a potential series for Cooking Channel called Junk Food Flip. In April 2015, it was announced that the pilot would be picked up for a full series.
And that fellow chef Bobby Deen would serve as co-host.
The series officially premiered on June 2, 2015.
