“CHOPPED’S” TED ALLEN STEPS OUT OF THE STUDIO AND ONTO THE TOWN TO FIND THE ULTIMATE PLACES TO DINE IN NEW COOKING CHANNEL SPECIAL “WHERE CHEFS EAT”

Special Premieres Wednesday, December 29 at 9pmET/6pmPT

NEW YORK – December 14, 2021 – Ted Allen knows about food. The Emmy and James Beard Award-winning personality is also a New York Times best-selling author and has long connected with viewers on Food Network’s fan-favorite culinary competition Chopped. Now fans have a chance to follow this food lover extraordinaire out of the studio and onto the town as he embarks on a mission to find the places where chefs, the ultimate foodies, break bread and satisfy their appetites. In Where Chefs Eat, premiering Wednesday, December 29 at 9pmET/6pmPT on Cooking Channel, Ted travels to Philadelphia and with the help of acclaimed chef Mike Solomonov, prepares to eat his way through the city, stopping at chefs’ favorite places and hidden gems along the way, tasting everything from vibrant blue dumplings that are as beautiful as they are delicious, an overflowing off-the-menu feast eaten directly by hand, out of-this-world sushi served up by a master at an exclusive, hidden sushi bar for those ‘in the know,’ and a sweet frozen treat that is transformative in more ways than one. From stop to stop, they will meet the proprietors of each establishment, learn the history of the chefs and their dishes, and get a unique insider’s view of the Philly food scene.

At Kalaya Thai Kitchen they meet Chef Nok Suntaranon who went from home cook and occasional caterer to acclaimed chef and restaurant owner in under two years. Her carefully layered flavors, meticulous selection of fresh ingredients, and exquisite presentation of dishes such as her signature blue flower-shaped Shaw Muang dumplings make her restaurant a must-eat spot. At Perla, they meet the Philippines-born Chef Lou Boquila who wanted to share his late mother’s cooking with the world when he opened his restaurant named after her. His Filipino tasting menu was a hit, but the real gem of this establishment is the meal that’s not on the menu, a whole table dining experience called the Kamayan Feast. No plates or utensils, just a giant spread meant to be eaten with your hands and shared with friends and family. For a palate cleanser and sweet treat, they head to Siddiq’s Real Fruit Water Ice. Chef-Owner Siddiq Moore wanted to improve his local community while bringing some refreshing, healthy treats to the area and soon realized his unique take on water ice was the vehicle that would achieve both goals. Now serving the most award-winning water ice, Siddiq’s biggest pride is how he’s been able to transform his neighborhood through his activism and efforts. Finally, Ted and Chef Mike head to meet Chef Jesse Ito, son of Japanese sushi pioneer Masaharu Ito, at Royal Izakaya, a hidden gem that is a playful and lively ode to Tokyo’s own “Izakaya” scene. With cleverly elevated Japanese bar small bites in the front, and an elegant reservation-only sushi bar hidden in the back, this is a one-of-a-kind Philly experience.

From fresh fruit frozen delights to a feast big enough to feed an army, Ted Allen and Chef Mike Solomonov explore Philadelphia’s best-kept food secrets and discover what makes it one of the best places to eat in America as they visit the places Where Chefs Eat.

Fans can join the conversation on social using #WhereChefsEat.

Where Chefs Eat is produced by BEST Productions.

In the second episode, “A Friendsgiving Feast,” Joanna shares one of her favorite meals to make as the seasons change — a rich and delicious Friendsgiving casserole, Cranberry sauce, Green Beans Amandine and Cherry Almond Crisp for dessert.

“Over the years, I’ve come to realize the impact that food has on our lives. It bolsters our traditions and it maintains our fondest memories and our notion of home and family. With just one bite, food can bring you back to a specific moment in time,” said Joanna Gaines. “Season one of my cooking show is filled with tried and true, family favorites that do just that. Recipes that remind me of my childhood, or my heritage, or lazy Saturday mornings at home with my family. This cooking show is a celebration of family, community, and traditions around the table.

ROGER MOOKING TAKES VIEWERS FROM THEIR COUCHES TO THE HOTTEST SPOTS COOKING WITH FIRE ON THE NEW SEASON OF MAN FIRE FOOD

New Season Premieres Wednesday, May 20th at 9pm ET/6pm PT
NEW YORK – April 29, 2020 – Earlier this year, Chef Roger Mooking hit the road to meet pit masters, chefs and home cooks using the most innovative and outrageous ways to cook with fire. On Wednesday, May 20th at 9:00pm ET/6:00pm PT, viewers can escape from their at home quarantine and join Roger on Man Fire Food, as he travels across the country discovering how smokers, fire pits, and rigs are used to serve up one-of-a-kind dishes that sizzle the taste buds.

“Every year, viewers look forward to new episodes of Man Fire Food to kick off the summer grilling season, and this year, Roger is back to transport viewers from their couches at home to delicious destinations celebrating the passion for building and cooking with fire,” said Courtney White, President, Food Network and Cooking Channel.

Roger’s fascination with flames continues in each of six new episodes. On the season premiere, Roger heads to Comfort Farms in Milledgeville, Georgia, a nonprofit organization where retire a retired veteran helps fellow vets adjust to civilian life by teaching them how to farm, raise animals and cook. There, Roger helps cook a whole mutton seasoned with garlicky rosemary and farm-fresh ingredients for a live fire feast cooked on a unique rig. Then, he heads to Bob Sykes Bar-B-Q in Bessemer, Alabama, for classic, open brick-pit barbecue, where he learns the tricks of the trade from a seasoned pitmaster, who has been stoking coals since he was 8 years old. Together they season 250 pounds of picnic pork and load it into a 15-foot pit heated with hickory wood. Whether it is smoked, grilled or barbecued, each bite is a mouthful of flaming bold flavors.

Throughout the season Roger follows the smoke signals to destinations across the country. From an ancient Peruvian-style pit roast in Saint Augustine, Florida, to authentic Thai rotisserie chicken in Austin, Texas, and to charred steak empanadas in Chattanooga, Tennessee, each delicious dish shares the common ingredient – fire!
