“Rachael Ray’s Kid’s Cook Off,” a six-episode series featuring kid competitors and big challenges, will premiere at 8:00 p.m. tonight on the Food Network. Several multi-talented junior chefs, including 12-year-old Chandler Jackson and 11-year-old Juliana Malfitano, both from metro Atlanta, will be put to the test through a series of tough cooking challenges and high-pressure obstacles. The aforementioned includes preparing the perfect well-balanced bite and creating desserts in disguise inspired by the new movie “Hotel Transylvania 2.”
Each week, Rachael as well as an all-star line-up of guest judges including Marcus Samuelsson, Amanda Freitag, Sunny Anderson, Daymon Patterson and Fabio Viviani will mentor and guide the “kidtestants” through the culinary challenges. The winning kidtestant will receive a $20,000 culinary scholarship and their very own web series on FoodNetwork.com
More from the press release:
“The kidtestants have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to not only compete for their own web series and a culinary scholarship, but to also learn from one of America’s favorite television hosts, Rachael Ray,” said Bob Tuschman, general manager and senior vice president, Food Network. “I am not sure whose job is more difficult - the kids, who must survive tough challenges, or Rachael, who must choose between all of these talented young chefs.”
Fans can head to FoodNetwork.com/KidsCookOff to access photo and video highlights, interviews with the winners and much more—all culminating in an exclusive winner’s web series.
