Chef Brian Malarkey will compete in Superchef Grudge Match 2023, a brand new Food Network reality show. Celebrity chef and restaurateur Darnell Ferguson will host the show, which will feature lengthy, dramatic debates between rival chefs resolved in one round. The winner will have the last laugh at the opponent. Chef Carlos Anthony, apprentice turned favorite of Brian Malarkey, is tired of being the shadow of his mentor. He wants to end the burden of being second to his mentor and will take on him in the arena to establish his dominance in the competitive streak.
According to the official Warner Bros. Discovery:
“It was mentor versus protégé when restaurateur Brian Malarkey took on chef Carlos Anthony. Carlos gets tired of shouldering all the kitchen burden while Brian gets all the attention – but is he good enough to step out of the shadows and grab the limelight?
It continued:
“Upcoming episodes include the food commentator showdown between Justin Warner and Simon Majumdar, the reunion of the ‘Iron Chef Gauntlet’ showdown between Stephanie Izard and Shota Nakajima, and the social media feud between San Diego’s Drew Bent and Claudia Sandoval.”
