Shannon Ambrosio hosts "Big Bad BBQ Brawl"
Competitive barbecue is kind of an oxymoron, in my estimation. A pit master's mantra is "low and slow," and any barbecue enthusiast knows that that's the key to meaty perfection. Competitions, though, conjure up images of speed -- of intensity. Try going down that path with a smoker, though, and you're just asking for a whole lot of trouble.

This season's competitors in "Iron Chef Gauntlet"
It's been a long wait, but the lights are flickering back to life in Food Network's famous Kitchen Stadium, and for the first time since they went dark in 2013, audiences can once again hear those magic words that kick off every episode of "Iron Chef America": "Allez! Cuisine!"
Monti Carlo hosts “Help My Yelp”
Whether it's Google reviews, feedback on Zomato or opinions on OpenTable, it's easy to find other diners' thoughts about pretty much any restaurant you're eyeing for breakfast, lunch, dinner or an in-between meal. From the restaurant's perspective, a couple of good reviews can be a boon to business -- but on the flip side, even one bad one can spell doom.
Guy Fieri hosts "Guy's Grocery Games"
Whether it's coupons that offer huge markdowns on pricey necessities or loyalty points that add up to free groceries, supermarkets have a lot of tricks up their sleeves to earn customers' loyalty and keep them -- and their money -- coming back. Now, Flavortown Market has its own special promotion to lure back past "guests": a chance at $35,000.

Noah Cappe hosts "Carnival Eats"
Carnivals sure are a feast for the senses, aren't they? The high-pitched shrieks as a roller-coaster thunders past blends with the heavy smell of ozone near the electric-powered bumper cars. The raucous ring-a-ding-dings from the games as people win prizes just works with the garish signs and billboards that shout out their messages with some absolutely bizarre color combinations.
