August 14 - 20, 2022 WHATS UP! T7 BY MICHELLE ROSE TV Media T he cost of groceries keeps rising, and for many households, it's getting harder to stretch the food budget. For this reason, it's refreshingly relatable to see competitors on a cooking competition working with limit- ed resources — as do many viewers at home. "Big Bad Budget Battle," which debuted last week on Food Network and discovery+, is a competitive food show that re- wards both thrifty shoppers and resourceful home cooks. In each of the six hour-long episodes, three home cooks are given a small stash of cash and are chal- lenged to shop on a budget in what Food Network calls "the ultimate grocery store": Flavor- town Market. Sharing a 15,500-square-foot set with "Guy's Grocery Games" isn't a coincidence: "Big Bad Budget Battle" is produced by Guy Fieri via his Knuckle Sand- wich production company. And despite being a TV set, Flavor- town Market is fully stocked with real food items (even fresh fish), so the "Big Bad Budget Battle" contestants will have thousands of items at their dis- posal — it just depends on what their budget allows. What are they doing with that budget? They'll use the money to buy all the ingredients needed for a deliciously inexpensive dish, depending on the theme or challenge. In this week's new ep- isode (Aug. 16), the home cooks are tasked with reimagining left- overs — first by whipping up an inviting breakfast, then by creat- ing a new supper sensation. The six-episode series is host- ed by "The Pioneer Woman's" Ree Drummond, who, in a pre- pared statement, applauded the concept. "I can't wait for viewers to see these awesome home cooks in action, both with their creativity in the kitchen and their budget- shopping skills — they are truly something to behold," Drum- mond said. "As a home cook my- self, I'm impressed by their re- sourcefulness and ingenuity as they plan, shop and prepare their incredible dishes." Drummond is joined by a pan- el of rotating judges, including Darnell Ferguson ("Tiny Food Fight"), Eddie Jackson ("Yum and Yummer"), Beau MacMillan ("Worst Cooks in America"), Catherine McCord ("Guy's Gro- cery Games"), Damaris Phillips ("Southern and Hungry") and Justin Warner ("Food Network Star"). Together, they'll select a winner (one per episode) and that resourceful cook wins a year's worth of groceries.
