NEW YORK - March 16, 2018 - Food Network announced today the launch of its first original Snapchat Show, Chopped U, headlined by Lazarus Lynch of Food Network's digital series Comfort Nation.

Over 31 million total viewers, including more than 13 million from the P25-54 demo, tune in every month to enjoy Food Network's Chopped, and the network's first Snapchat spin-off will allow a younger audience to enjoy similar content in a convenient, mobile format tailored to their tastes and viewing preferences.

In May 2017, the network, along with sister network HGTV, expanded its relationship with Snap Inc. to also develop and produce exclusive original Shows for Snapchat.
