Food Network is about to launch 100 Cooks, “the biggest home cook competition of all time” with host Terry Crews.
Announced by PEOPLE on Wednesday, May 13, 100 Cooks will also feature content creator Nick DiGiovanni and chef Alex Guarnaschelli as judges.
What to expect:
The series will see “100 of America’s elite home cooks enter the stadium kitchen arena where they will be challenged to the most unpredictable, professional-chef level cooking competition ever.”
“As the competition begins, chefs are selected at random to come to the floor to compete while the ‘Challenge Mixer’ dictates the challenges they will face, ranging from fast-paced trivia contests to 30-minute do-or-die cooking battles.”
The winner of each round has a choice. They can choose whether to take the cash prize or add it to a growing pot that begins at $100,000. “As the number of cooks goes down, the grand prize goes up,” the show’s description explains. “Ultimately, 99 of the contestants will be eliminated, and just one will win the grand prize of up to $250,000.”
The show premieres Sunday, June 7, at 9 p.m. ET.
