It's finally here: A high-stakes holiday incarnation of the ultimate sudden-death culinary showdown Tournament of Champions. Say "Happy Holidays," to Tournament of Champions: All-Star Christmas, airing on Food Network Wednesday, November 5 at 8|7c — and, of course, hosted by the legendary Guy Fieri.
What's Different About TOC: All-Star Christmas?
The holidays are a time for cooking with the ones you love, so — instead of competing solo per usual — chefs will be invited to pair up in teams of two to compete for glory and goodwill. In every battle, teams will serve up a savory and a sweet dish based on the spin of the Randomizer. The chef teams will need to be in sync and on their game to earn the title, the belt, a $100,000 cash prize furnished by Carnival Cruise Lines and their split of an additional $50,000 prize to give to a cause close to their hearts.
