New Orleans chef Nini Nguyen and 31 other chefs from across the country will be competing for the $150,000 grand prize in Food Network’s “Tournament of Champions” starting Sunday.
Nguyen made her Food Network debut in “Tournament of Champions Season 5” and recently won the premiere season of “Last Bite Hotel.”
The show’s sixth season will air at 7 p.m. Sundays and will also stream on Max.
Guy Fieri hosts ‘Tournament of Champions, Season 6’ starting Sunday on Food Network.
The Guy Fieri-hosted series is described as his fiercest culinary event. Many Louisianians met Fieri recently at Super Bowl-related events in New Orleans and meet-and-greets in Baton Rouge. Fieri also taped several episodes of his “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives” series while in the state.
“Pressure is amped up and emotions run high as chefs face wild challenges doled out by the Randomizer, face unknown opponents, and kitchen skills and abilities are pushed to the limit as successive rounds get more intense in the sudden-death culinary competition,” the show synopsis states.
“One thing you can count on with ‘TOC’ is that we’re always upping the ante, making the competition even more intense and unpredictable,” Fieri said in a news release.
“… This year it’s truly anyone’s chance to grab that belt!” Fieri added, referencing the prize fighter style gold belt which goes along with the title.
The finale battle will air at 7 p.m. Sunday, April 20.
Nguyen, author of 2024’s “Dac Biet: An Extra-Special Vietnamese Cookbook,” strives to make the rich flavors of her upbringing accessible to all, according to her bio.
She’s also competed in “Top Chef Season 16” and later in “Top Chef: All-Stars Los Angeles.”
Nguyen also contributes to Food & Wine, Food52 and Serious Eats and shares kitchen tips on Instagram and TikTok at @chefnininguyen and at www.chefnininguyen.com.
