BURBANK � January 24, 2007 � Candidates on NBC's "The Apprentice: Los Angeles" compete to create and sell a tasty new product for national chicken restaurant El Pollo Loco in an episode airing Sunday, January 28 (9-10 p.m. ET). Singing sensation Andrea Bocelli guest stars in the episode.

This week's task for Kinetic and Arrow is to create, promote and sell a new version of a signature menu item for El Pollo Loco. One team bets the farm on a risky strategy while the other struggles with a teammate who has flown the coop.

Observing the culinary competition and advising Trump this week is Sean Yazbeck, the season five winner of "The Apprentice." While the losers are grilled in the boardroom, the winners are serenaded by Andrea Bocelli, the Tuscany-born vocalist acclaimed for both his classical and popular music recordings.
