They know how to put it together just right to make it the perfect culinary masterpiece and something that is unrivaled by most. But what happens when you take part cooking show and part game show and throw them in the blender? Why, you get NBC's newest formula for a cooking competi- tion that looks ripe for the pick- ing. Hosted by "Man v. Food's" Adam Richman, "Food Fight- ers" will pit one ace amateur cook's signature dish against six professional chefs in the ul- timate high-stakes food battle. Catch the series premiere Tues- day, July 22, on NBC. The home cook and the pro- fessional chefs will all be cook- ing one dish — the recipe our dear amateur chef has claimed to be their best. It's a move that makes this culinary game show all the more interesting. "Every true home cook has at least one 'signature dish,' — the peach cobbler, the lasagna, that appetizer that friends beg you to bring to parties," said NBC president of alternative and late night programming Paul Telegdy. "This is a show that puts those recipes to the ultimate test and rewards the passion Americans bring to their home kitchens every day." Armed only with their recipe and three culinary "lifelines," the home cooks will face off against the professionals one at a time. When they're both finished creating their dish, the meals will be put in front of "The Dinner Party." Consisting of renowned culinary experts, "The Dinner Party" will per- form a blind taste test and de- cide which dish is the winner. If the home cook's dish is chosen as the winner, they'll knock off the first chef and claim a cash prize. They'll be able to face off against the next chef and climb a money ladder with increasing cash prizes for each professional they beat out. Of course, if the professional wins, the battle is over. It's a refreshing new format on the classic cooking compe- tition show, and Richman is the perfect food guru to serve as host. Growing up in the Big Apple, Richman was raised with a passion for food and a love for diverse culinary delights. It was a passion that never died, even as he pursued an undergradu- ate degree in international studies in Georgia. He kept a regular food journal and even- tually began touring restau- rants all over the world. He got his own show, "Man v. Food," on Travel Channel in 2008, and his career on televi- Bookhout Funeral 2 x 2 Adam Richman as seen in "Food Fighters" Cooking this week Cast the first scone: 'Food Fighters' mixes cooking competition with game-show fun
