It would appear that once you are featured in an in-flight magazine such as Air-Tran’s Go, your future is made. At least, that’s the conclusion we’re drawing from today’s news that Chris Cosentino will star in a new Food Network show called Chefs Vs. City. Here’s the pitch:
Acclaimed chefs Chris Cosentino and Aaron Sanchez are pitted against two local foodies in a winner-takes-all race through a different city each week, through the most fascinating, unusual food locations. Each team begins with a clue leading them to their first food challenge. Challenges could include everything from wine stomping to the eating the spiciest chili west of the Mississippi to diving for sea urchins! The five challenges take the chefs and foodies on an adrenaline-charged, food-lovers tour of each city, and once complete, it’s a sprint to the finish line to see if the locals can protect their home turf or if the Food Network chefs can conquer a new city.
That does sound like fun. Let’s hope one of the challenges includes blanching mountains of veal testicles and goose intestines, because Cosentino would be uniquely qualified. [Serious Eats via Eater]
