“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 first challenge in which the chefs make their best version of spaghetti and meatballs. However, they soon learn that the key ingredients are out of stock. The chefs must substitute and improvise in a mad dash grabbing alternatives from around the market. Then, in budget battle, the chefs use their supermarket savvy and couponing genius to make a family meal for four with just $6.35. For the final challenge, the two remaining chefs make their best dishes using only ingredients from the frozen food aisle. The winner gets the chance to go on the Super Shopping Spree worth up to $20,000.
