Food Competition Celebrates Black Chefs And Black Culinary Traditions

10/25/2021

Comments

 
Today, we see Black culture recognized like never before in music, film, fashion, TV, sports, and more, however, that very same cultural recognition remains less credited in culinary arts.
​
OWN has partnered with discovery+ via the original series, “The Great Soul Food Cook-Off,” in a cooking competition that finally spotlights the culinary contributions of Black chefs with challenges designed to highlight the past and present of soul food.

Eight chefs will go head-to-head throughout the show in this high-stakes, spiritual, and emotional competition, but only one competitor can take home the grand prize of $50,000.
