Genre: Reality Competition, Food
The food world is filled with rivalries and in this series hosted by Darnell Ferguson, some long-standing personal and professional feuds are settled in one-round, one-dish winner-takes-all heavyweight battles.
In each episode, Darnell stages two different battles between chefs who have beefs with each other to finally bury the hatchet and win $10,000 cash, a prized knife from the losing chef and lifelong bragging rights over their food foe.
From food competition rivalries and business partner squabbles to mentor vs. protégé grudges, sparks fly in and out of the kitchen in this one-hour series.
In the series premiere, Darnell welcomes Chefs Antonia Lofaso and Jet Tila to settle their Tournament of Champions rivalry - the two were tied in every category, until Jet won a rematch in the finale by one point.
Since she has historically come out on top, Antonia is determined to restore order in the universe - while Jet is ready to defend his win.
Then it's mentor vs. protégé as restaurateur Brian Malarkey takes on Chef Carlos Anthony.
Brian and Carlos have opened ten restaurants together and Carlos is tired of pulling all the culinary weight while Brian gets the recognition - but does he have what it takes to step out of the shadows and win the spotlight.
Upcoming episodes include a culinary commentator clash between Justin Warner and Simon Majumdar, an Iron Chef Gauntlet rivalry reunion with Stephanie Izard and Shota Nakajima and a dispute over social media is settled between San Diego's Drew Bent and Claudia Sandoval.
