NEW GUY FIERI SHOW IN THE WORKS: The Food Network and celebrity chef Guy Fieri are teaming up on the five-episode Tournament of Champions, which will feature 16 chefs competing in cook challenges using a variety of ingredients and special cooking tools. The new series will begin production this December and launch in March. Fieri actually issued a call to action from his fans on social media, and the RFP has already snagged more than 1 million views. “Cooking and sports are two of my greatest passions,” said Fieri, in a statement. “What people don’t realize is that the competitive fire that drives professional athletes also drives the best chefs in the world. So, with Tournament of Champions, I’m having the greatest culinary athletes in the world go head-to-head in a knock-down, drag-out bracket style competition that’s going to be off the hook. Let the games begin!”
