The eleventh season of the American reality television series Food Network Star premiered June 7, 2015 on Food Network.[1] Food Network chefs Bobby Flay and Giada de Laurentiis returned to the series as judges, with Alton Brown not returning for undisclosed reasons.[2] This season also continued the inclusion of Star Salvation, a six-week[3] webseries that featured the most recently eliminated contestant competing against the remaining previously eliminated contestants for a chance to re-enter the main Food Network Star competition.

This season also returned to the practice of the winner of the competition being chosen by the Food Network staff, rather than by viewers as in the three previous seasons.[4]
