“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 will judge the second episode in which the four chefs create an Asian-inspired dish using only five ingredients for their first challenge. Then, Guy hands the chefs an unusual grocery list with items that they must locate from around the store to create the perfect fun, family meal to earn them a place in the next challenge. The two remaining chefs race against the clock as the store is closing its shopping hours. With only two minutes to shop, they must make decisions as fast as they can. The competitor who makes the most delicious pasta dish advances to the Super Shopping Spree with the hopes of winning up to $20,000.
