In this one-hour special we go behind the scenes as candy makers from around the world turn Chicago’s convention center into the sweetest eight acres in America. It looks like Candy Land, but in reality this is serious business. Host George Duran explores the latest and greatest in candy from chocolate to gummy bears, chili powder lollipops to extreme sour gum drops. You have to be a candy professional to get into this show, but with this all-access pass you’ll get a glimpse of the sweet treats in store for you this year.
Six amateur chefs face off in beautiful Napa Valley for a chance to win $10,000. Each one, a competition winner. The twist: none of them has won a seafood competition before. We are taking experts in pie, chili, steak, chicken and BBQ and finding out if they are up to the challenge of fish. There are two parts to the challenge: an appetizer that has to be made in only 40 minutes and a main course that needs to be completed in just one hour. Time is a huge factor in this competition, as well as expert grill management. Theres also the added pressure of some very tough judges who hold nothing back.
