| SUPERMARKET STAKEOUT BACK FOR SECOND SEASON OF ACTION-PACKED AMBUSH-STYLE OUTDOOR COOKING BATTLES Alex Guarnaschelli Hosts Thirteen-Episode Series Return Premiering Tuesday, March 17th at 10pm ET/PT New York - February 13, 2020 - Food Network's hit series Supermarket Stakeout, where the action begins when unsuspecting customers leave the store aisles and luck, negotiation and cooking skills are the ingredients to win, returns for a second season of fast-paced pop-up culinary battles on Tuesday, March 17th at 10pm (all times ET/PT). Hosted by Iron Chef and Chopped judge Alex Guarnaschelli and shot on-location at supermarkets around the country, each episode features four talented chefs who must ambush shoppers as they exit the store and blindly bid on their grocery bags without knowing what's inside. Over three themed rounds with a budget of only $500 and pop-up kitchen setups, the chefs can only cook with the items they are able to negotiate out of the customer's carts with persuasion and a little cold hard cash. A rotating panel of judges, which this season includes Scott Conant, Giada De Laurentiis, Bobby Flay and Molly Yeh, ultimately determine each week which competitor made the most successful menu and is awarded enough cash for a year's worth of groceries. "Supermarket Stakeout quickly become a must-watch for our viewers in its first season and we are so excited to deliver another season this soon," said Courtney White, President, Food Network. "You never really know what you are going to get in each episode - personality, luck and cooking all play a part, so each week's battle is filled with edge-of-your-seat unexpected results." Set in pop-up kitchens outside local supermarkets, each episode begins with host Alex Guarnaschelli giving the four chef contestants $500 apiece - their whole budget to buy ingredients for the three-round cooking competition. In round one, the chefs can purchase ingredients only by blindly ambushing customers outside the store and negotiating for their grocery bags without knowing the contents. In round two, competitors can only purchase groceries from a single shopper, but may look through the bags before negotiating the price. In the final round, competitors may purchase five ingredients total, but can approach as many shoppers as it takes to get what they need. After each themed cooking round, the least successful chef is eliminated, leaving two competitors going head-to-head in the final round, vying for a cash prize.

[via press release from Food Network] ALTON BROWN JOINS ANNE BURRELL TO MENTOR FRESH CROP OF KITCHEN DISASTERS IN BRAND-NEW SEASON OF "WORST COOKS IN AMERICA"
Culinary Boot Camp Opens Sunday, January 5th at 9pm ET/PT on Food Network
NEW YORK - November 25, 2019 - For the first time, Alton Brown is joining Anne Burrell to transform a roster of terrible cooks into culinary shape with challenges bigger and crazier than ever in a brand-new season of Worst Cooks in America. The fan-favorite series pits two teams of atrocious cooks, one led by Alton and the other by Anne, against each other in a rigorous kitchen boot camp designed to transform their food skills. In the end, only the one recruit who makes the most impressive culinary improvement wins a $25,000 cash prize and bragging rights for their team leader. The ten-episode season premieres on Sunday, January 5th at 9pm (all times ET/PT) on Food Network.
"Our viewers know anything can, and does, happen on Worst Cooks and kicking off the New Year with a new season has become a tradition," said Courtney White, President, Food Network. "Having Alton join Anne at boot camp delivers more unexpected moments than ever."
This season's recruits are: Shannon Akins (Tempe, Arizona); Lulu Boykin (Pittsboro, North Carolina); Monica Colwell (Hazard, Kentucky); Joe Deese (Fulton, Alabama); Jefferson Goldie (Chicago, Illinois); Ryan Grovey (Seattle, Washington); Michael Jones-Better (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania); Dakota Klaes (New York, New York); Leo Lech (Washington, West Virginia); Curtis Long (Seneca, South Carolina); Kelly Ngoc Mac (Pasadena, California); Bridget Praytor (Colorado Springs, Colorado); Leslie Rivera-Silva (Washington D.C.); Jolynn Singh (Allen, Texas); Kevin So (Brooklyn, New York) and Alexandra Tiso (Eastchester, New York).
In the season premiere, sixteen of the country's worst cooks enter boot camp with dreams of putting their kitchen nightmares behind them. Mentors Anne Burrell and Alton Brown want to see what they're dealing with, so they ask the recruits to make their infamous signature dish and the results are truly disastrous. After being sorted into teams, Anne and Alton teach their recruits a chicken soup and sandwich dish and the competitors with the worst dishes are sent home. Upcoming episodes feature a Chinese New Year celebration, tailgate-themed challenge and the return of fan-favorite game Remote Control Chef. The season culminates on Sunday, March 8th at 9pm with the two most-improved recruits preparing a three-course restaurant quality meal for judges Kelly Choi, Brian Mazza and Jet Tila in a blind taste-test to determine the winner of $25,000 and bragging rights for their mentor.
Fans can meet the new recruits, relive the top moments from boot camp and get an exclusive, extended look at Anne and Alton's cooking demos at FoodNetwork.com/WorstCooks. Tell us about your biggest kitchen disaster and follow the competition on social and using #WorstCooks.

[via press release from Food Network] INA GARTEN IS BACK WITH BRAND-NEW RECIPES AND TIPS IN "BAREFOOT CONTESSA: COOK LIKE A PRO" ON SUNDAY, OCTOBER 27TH AT 12PM ET/PT
NEW YORK - September 18, 2019 - Ina Garten, the Barefoot Contessa, returns with new recipes and tips for home cooks in a brand-new season of Barefoot Contessa: Cook Like A Pro, premiering Sunday, October 27th at 12pm ET/PT on Food Network. Shot at her home in East Hampton, New York, Ina explores Italian dishes, make-ahead entertaining and holiday brunches this season - and she even has a twist on Thanksgiving dinner.
"Ina's new season starts with casual fall meals and takes us right through holiday celebrations," said Courtney White, President, Food Network. "Our audience is sure to be inspired by her signature tips and recipes to create their own home-cooked dishes."
"I'll show everyone how to go to a grocery store, buy perfectly good ingredients, and make delicious, easy dishes that will delight everyone at their table," said Ina.

Shortcuts like ready-made pound cake wow in her Raspberry Baked Alaska with Fresh Raspberry Sauce and she makes delicious Turkey Sandwiches with Brussels Sprouts Slaw easy with deli-sliced turkey. Store-bought marinara sauce is the secret to her Roasted Eggplant Parmesan, and she makes Sweet Red Pepper Hummus party-worthy from simple pantry ingredients.
