Chefs vs. City Showdown at The Mayflower

By R Life, posted Aug 27th 2010 at 9:02AM

Chefs vs. City is one of those Food Network shows people have a hard time turning off. The show stars two chefs, Aaron Sanchez and Chris Cosentino, who travel to different cities across the US and essentially battle local chefs to a variety of food-related challenges. Unlike other chef-focused shows, Chefs vs. City isn’t just about who cooks the better meal. It’s more like a free-for-all, sudden-death match testing skills… like who can eat a bowl filled with the spiciest food… and who can eye the weight of food more accurately.

The show’s  stars are checking into The Mayflower Renaissance in DC. At 10pm tonight, the series will cap its second season with an episode dedicated to DC and a contest at The Mayflower. Since the show’s general structure is that of a scavenger hunt, each episode winds up being, more or less, an insider’s culinary tour of the city at hand.

“While we are not at liberty to discuss either the nature of the challenge or its outcome prior to its screening,” said General Manager Satinder Palta, “I can promise that the excitement begins from the moment the teams pull up to our grand entrance on Connecticut Avenue.”

Sounds delicious. Tune into the Food Network tonight to catch this bound-to-be-great season finale.
