# Food Network taps Terry Crews for new competition series ‘100 Cooks’

(NewsNation) — Food Network has hired TV presenter Terry Crews for its new cooking show.

Crews will host “100 Cooks,” which the network says is its “biggest home cook competition of all time.”

The show will see “100 of the country’s best home cooks … run through an epic culinary gauntlet where 99 cooks will be eliminated and only one is named best home cook and wins as much as $250,000,” according to a press release.

Cooks from “all walks of life,” including stay-at-home parents, attorneys and firefighters who have a love of cooking, will go head-to-head for the prize.

Chef Alex Guarnaschelli and culinary content creator Nick DiGiovanni will join Crews, serving as judges on the Food Network series.

“As the competition begins, chefs are selected at random to come to the floor to compete while the ‘Challenge Mixer’ dictates the challenges they will face ranging from fast-paced trivia contests to 30-minute do-or-die cooking battles,” according to a news release.

This wouldn’t be Crews’ first hosting gig.

The actor is currently hosting “America’s Got Talent” and previously hosted “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” and the Netflix reality competition “Ultimate Beastmaster.”

The new show premieres on June 7.
