“Guy’s Grocery Games” Takes the Competition to the Supermarket
Melissa will appear as a reoccurring judge on Food Network’s new primetime competition show, “Guy’s Grocery Games.”
Hosted by Guy Fieri and airing Sunday nights at 8pmET/PT starting October 20, each episode will have four talented chefs competing against one another in three cooking challenges that will require them to navigate the aisles against real-life shopping challenges. Each round will be judged by a rotating list of judges including Melissa d’Arabian, Richard Blais, Beau MacMillan, Jet Tila, Marcela Valladolid and Catherine McCord, among others. The last chef remaining will get to go on a shopping spree, with just two minutes to collect all the items on his or her shopping list. With each item worth $2,000, a total prize of $20,000 is at stake. Let the grocery games begin. Read more on FN Dish.
Melissa serves as a judge in today’s episode where Guy challenges the chefs to make him a five-star dinner using only ingredients in the frozen food aisle. Then, the chefs must gather as many healthy items as they can without using their shopping carts to create a kid-friendly meal. The pressure is on as the final two chefs race through the store while the lights are off with just a few minutes to shop. The most delicious savory pie will bring one chef to the Super Shopping Spree worth up to $20,000.
