Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-Off

Two of the world’s best-known culinary personalities will lead star-studded teams of amateur cooks in a fun, fast-paced culinary fight to the finish on the new Food Network prime-time series Rachael vs. Guy Celebrity Cook-Off. The six-episode show is set to premiere on January 1 at 9/8c.

Emmy®-winning talk show host and Food Network icon Rachael Ray and best-selling cookbook author and successful restaurateur Guy Fieri will serve as coaches and mentors to eight multi-talented celebrities, all of whom are passionate about food and cooking. Divided into Team Rachael and Team Guy, the contestants will face intense weekly challenges that are sure to have them working, fighting and laughing as they race against the clock to prepare elaborate meals for up to 150 guests. The winning and losing teams will be chosen by the guest diners — and between two bottom-rated contestants from the losing team, one member will be sent home each week. The last celebrity standing at the end of the season will win a cash donation to his or her favorite charity.

Chefs of the Round Table

The eight celebrities arrive in New York City as Rachael Ray and Guy Fieri select their teams. The celebrities get right to work for their first cook-off challenge as they have 90 minutes to prepare a Medieval Feast and then perform for a stadium full of hungry spectators. Rachael and Guy are joined by special guest judge, Chef Lee Anne Wong, who will decide which dish does not make the cut.

Leis in the Fray

Rachael and Guy challenge the celebrities to make Hawaiian-inspired hors d'oeuvres and a team cocktail to serve 50 guests at a luau party in only 90 minutes. The guests fill out comment cards rating each team's dishes, as special guest judge Chef Marc Murphy ultimately chooses the winning team and which celebrity will be eliminated.

Supermarket Smackdown

The remaining celebrities on must create, shop, cook and package their own signature food product that best reflects their personality. Each team then has to promote and sell their products to the public for tokens, and the celebrity with the most tokens from each team wins a cash prize for their charity and is safe from elimination. Guest judge Madison Cowan rates the quality of each team's products to decide which celebrity will not be moving on to the next challenge.

Big Game Grub

Team Rachael and Team Guy go head-to-head over two rounds to create the ultimate game day grub with guest judges Chef Alex Guarnaschelli and Josh Elliott of Good Morning America determining their fate. The first round is a head-to-head chicken wing cook-off, with each team's MVP winning immunity and a cash prize for their charity. In round two, the celebrities must create the best elevated game day dish by coming up with a unique team plate of nachos. The teams are judged on both dishes, with one celebrity taken out of the lineup leaving the remaining celebrities one step closer to winning the grand prize.

Boardwalk Bites
