Food Network Star season 13, episode 8: Watch online
Can they cook live? This week’s Food Network Star has the finalists going big or going home.
As the season approaches its end, the remaining finalists must prove that they are ready to be a Food Network Star. While one frontrunner has emerged, the other finalists are still trying to set themselves apart. During this week’s challenges, the finalists must tackle ginormous food and a live stream cooking segment.
The synopsis for this week’s episode states:
"The finalists must try their hand at something big, taking their inspiration from Josh Denny and his hit Food Network show, Ginormous Food. Then, it’s time for the up-to-the-minute trend of live cooking while streaming on social media. Each finalist streams their take on a start-to-finish 15-minute weeknight meal while viewers cook along. Surprise guest Alex Guarnaschelli provides feedback on the finalists’ performances as Giada De Laurentiis and Bobby Flay send one more finalist on their way."
The first challenge sounds tailored made for the Southern men. I can see Jason and Rusty doing well in the ginormous food challenge. This type of “frankenfood” is a good opportunity to showcase the big, bold Southern flavors. Many people love the big food challenges. I think that Jason and Rusty should be able to show off their personalities and cooking in this challenge.
For the elimination challenge, this live stream cooking demo might be the battle of the bottom. Unfortunately, this challenge could be more interesting viewing on the “bad” versus the good performances. Think about it. At this point, everyone should do well, but someone is bound to mess up. Do you think that Amy will get tongue tied and say something completely inappropriate? That scenario could make for some fun watching.
