Gordon Ramsay’s Food Stars
NAPA, CA, (June 14, 2023) – On the heels of the post-Super Bowl LVII Season Two launch of Next Level Chef, this season’s #1 broadcast series, culinary titan Gordon Ramsay sets aside his razor-sharp knives for the cutthroat business world in FOX’s all-new competition series Gordon Ramsay’s Food Stars.
The series, which puts food industry entrepreneurs through a multitude of challenges designed to showcase their business skills, test their drive, and convince Ramsay they have what it takes to earn his personal investment of $250,000. The show premiered on Wednesday, May 24 and will be aired each Wednesday (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. All episodes will be available on-demand on Hulu the following day.
Chimney Rock Winery is the host location for Episode 3 which aired on Wednesday, June 7th. Taping in to her 25 years of luxury winemaking expertise, Winemaker and General Manager Elizabeth Vianna educates the contestants on the delicate art of wine making. The cast is then divided into two teams and are challenged with curating a bespoke themed wine box, which, according to Ramsay is a one-billion-dollar industry.
During the challenge, both teams are charged with creating their own wine blend along with accompanying contestant-made food items to pair with their wine. For the final component, the teams must conceive and develop a sales and marketing strategy aimed at sophisticated wine consumers and then pitch their best idea to Vianna and a room full of connoisseurs. The team who receives the best feedback wins the competition and will be safe from eviction that week.
Ramsay designed the challenge to determine if the remaining cast members truly understand marketing and branding and can create products that genuinely stand out.
After a proper grilling from the guest audience, one team claims victory. To find out who wins this competition, the episode is currently available on-demand on Hulu.
Vianna said, “Gordon was an absolute delight to work with and it gives me great pleasure to be able to share the beauty and the bounty of the Napa Valley to viewers all over the country! This experience will go down as one of the most magical experiences in my career.”
