April 3 - 9, 2022 WHATS UP! T7 BY MICHELLE ROSE TV Media G eoffrey Zakarian, "Chopped" judge and co-host of "The Kitchen," is willing to bet big on one chef 's vision of restaurant success. A successful chef and res- taurateur in his own right, Za- karian is offering up his men- torship and expertise in Food Network's latest competition series, "Big Restaurant Bet," which premieres Tuesday, April 5 (episodes are available to stream weekly on discov- ery+). But Zakarian isn't just dol- ing out advice. He's ultimately fronting a $250,000 invest- ment in the winner of this six- week showdown, and that chef/entrepreneur will be- come a team member within Zakarian Hospitality Group. "Opening a restaurant takes unwavering determination, ra- zor sharp skill and unique cu- linary talent," Zakarian said in a statement. "In 'Big Restau- rant Bet,' viewers will follow the journey and dreams of eight talented chefs that are passionate about launching their own restaurant. It's not just a once-in-a-lifetime com- petition — it's real life. In the end, I'm going to select one chef to get behind and help bring their concept to fruition. The stakes are high, and my own reputation is on the line as we find America's next great restaurateur." In the premiere, the initial group of eight talented chefs gather at Zakarian's home base in Florida, where they're chal- lenged to create a simple, one- bite dish that best showcases their skill level, personality and restaurant vision. The chef whose dish isn't up to par is sent home, with Zakarian serving as a judge alongside his wife/business partner, Margaret Zakarian, and hospi- tality consultant/executive chef Eric Haugen. Later on, the chefs return to the kitchen to prove they're capable of cooking the basics, as defined by Zakarian, and another chef is eliminated from the competition. In the weeks ahead, expect to see more "real life" chal- lenges that will put the would- be restaurateurs' business ex- pertise to the test, too. In an- other episode, the chefs will be tasked with running a res- taurant's front of house while taking turns helping the guests … who are secretly ac- tors who have been hired to create chaos. The two chefs who ultimate- ly make it to the finale will get the chance to realize their dream culinary concept in a restaurant takeover, and that final challenge will determine the winner of the $250,000 "Big Restaurant Bet."
