Food Network executive Bob Tuschman said that "Lenny's magnetic personality, culinary chops and cowboy swagger made him stand out in this very talented crowd from the beginning."[2]
McNab wears cowboy attire and specializes in "elevated chuck wagon fare".[3] A native of New Hampshire, McNab got his culinary training in Bad Kissingen, Germany.[4] He is a former executive head chef at the Kessler Canyon hunting lodge in De Beque, Colorado.

Controversyedit
Although McNab was declared the winner of the tenth season of Food Network Star, a series for him never materialized. Days after he was crowned the winner, news outlets reported blog posts featuring racist, homophobic and misogynistic comments made by him, with several comments targeted at fellow Food Network chef Ree Drummond.[5][6][7]
