Spring it a great time for new shows on Food Network. Following on the heels of Best Bite in Town and Wildcard Kitchen comes 24 in 24: Last Chef Standing, an innovative new cooking competition that will turn up the heat for a full 24-hours.
24 chefs will go to battle, taking on 24 food challenges in 24 consecutive hours. The winner will take home $50,000 cash and "the trip of a lifetime."
In a press release, co-host Michael Symon talked about how the show represents an aspect of life as a chef. "This competition is as extreme as it sounds. Chefs often talk about the 24/7 nature of our industry, but this is the first competition to truly capture that intensity."
"It's a culinary battle like no other with surprising twists and curveballs along the way. It's a test of endurance, creativity, and collaboration that push these chefs to their limits," added fellow co-host Esther Choi.
Here's everything we know about 24 in 24: Last Chef Standing.
