Marsh Mokhtari HOST "Extreme Chef"

Food Network takes seven of America's most fearless chefs out of their kitchens and drops them into some of the most extreme locations in the second season of Extreme Chef premiering Thursday, August 16th at 10pm ET/PT. Over the course of five episodes, from the scorching deserts of California to the exotic jungles of Thailand, the chefs test their physical prowess, mental toughness and culinary skills as they compete in grueling and seemingly impossible culinary challenges including pulling out needles from a cactus pad to create a tasty dish, and creating a meal in 60 minutes on a floating dock, while the chefs rescue their ingredients from a capsized fishing boat in the ocean. Hosted by TV veteran and seasoned world traveler Marsh Mokhtari, each episode features the chefs competing in challenges judged by a rotating panel of notable guest judges, with the bottom two chefs facing off in a final showdown challenge to determine which chef goes home. In the end, one chef is able to consider themselves the most Extreme while taking home a $50,000 grand prize. Special guest judges this season include Simon Majumdar (Next Iron Chef judge, food journalist), Ben Sargent (host of Cooking Channel’s Hook, Line & Dinner), and Troy Johnson (host of Crave, food critic and journalist).

ROBERT WEAKLEY

After a weekend filled with many bottles of rosé and short rib sliders, the second annual Los Angeles Food & Wine Festival wrapped up Sunday afternoon at L.A. Live after four days of chef-driven tastings, demos, samplings and other events that featured some of the top culinary talents in the country. The most memorable event of the weekend was Friday night's Asian Market, hosted by Andrew Zimmern and Eater L.A., which took place on a red carpet-lined section of street just outside Staples Center. Chefs including WP24's Sally Camacho, Nobu's Jorge Mijangos and television host Ming Tsai offered up spicy, sweet and savory Asian bites. Roy Choi stopped by with the Kogi truck, slinging short-rib tacos to eager fans, while David Myers of Comme Ca served up chili crab wontons filled with a fiery red sauce. The bite of the night, though, was probably David LeFevre's cold green tea soba with house-made dashi broth and pickled lotus root -- the perfect respite from the sweltering heat that lingered into the evening. The rest of the weekend brought two Lexus-sponsored Grand Tastings, housed in large white tents downtown, which -- thanks to intermittent air conditioning -- became miniature greenhouses in the summer sun. We even spied one chef trying to cool off in front of a massive fan with his kitchen whites puffing out like the Michelin man. The roster played out like a Top Chef reunion: Brian Malarkey served lobster rolls, The Gorbals chef Ilan Hall whipped up a bizarre, bacon-infused snow cone and Antonia Lofaso signed cookbooks. Celestino Drago and Wolfgang Puck both busted out the truffles (the former summer white truffles, the latter black winter truffles) for some decadent pastas

Les Kincaid was born in Dayton, Ohio and moved to California at age 12 to spend the summer with his father and stepmother. He shortly discovered a passion for food because of his step-grandfather (who was an executive chef-retired). Started cooking for the summer visit and by September 1st was preparing three meals a day. His family moved to San Francisco and was hired for his first culinary job at 14. Because of his love of food he has been cooking most every day since.

Les has been teaching cooking and wine appreciation classes thru the continuing education, or Outreach department, at UNLV for well over twenty years and consulting to restaurants and hotels all over the west from west Texas to Oregon since 1983. He also taught cooking classes at the Clark County Community College for several years, and school politics forced him to quit there. Politics is not part of his personality.

Les has penned several cookbooks and the latest is titled "Never Trust A Skinny Chef". Les started broadcasting in Las Vegas with a radio program called "Les Kincaid's Lifestyles Las Vegas" in January 2000. The show emanated from Charlie Palmer's Aureole Las Vegas restaurant "lLIVE in Mandalay Bay Hotel/Casino. This show ran from noon to 1:30 p.m. (Pacific each Saturday). After one year the show went national and syndicated the show into over 26 million households. In September of 2000 he started a unique wine show (Les' Wines & Vines). This was Americas first wine show that has an invited guest audience and tastes wines and food during the show while interviewing the winery owner, winemaker, wine writer, sommelier or master sommelier. It is currently nationally syndicated over two networks and six internet outlets every Thursday evening from 7:00-8:00 p.m. “LIVE”. In October 2011 he decided to re-brand this show and changed the name to Wines Du Jour. The second network Global American Broadcasting Network and this helped the ratings and they feel very confident that this show will be around for several years to come. There are a few more projects in the mill at this time and we will be happy to share them with you as they develop, including some things from Baja California, Mexico. Both radio and television broadcasts.


Chuey Martinez “All You Can Meat”

A meat enthusiast all his life, Chuey Martinez spent much of his youth on his grandfather’s cattle ranch, and has seen firsthand what it takes to make great meat. Growing up in Los Angeles, his family’s get-togethers were (and still are) legendary when it comes to good eats. Bringing together traditions from Mexican, Dominican, Salvadorian and Cuban backgrounds, Martinez and his family have passed down their secret recipes for generations. But Martinez’s food experience isn’t just all in the family – from a young age, his mother encouraged him to branch out and try new things. From sushi to Filipino fare and good old-fashioned barbecue, Martinez knows his food and loves meeting new people to enjoy it with. Give this guy a plate of food and some good company, and he’s happy! Chuey has been hosting radio and television programs since age 16. As a former correspondent for MTV Tr3s, he’s interviewed A-list stars both on and off the red carpet. “All You Can Meat” follows Martinez as he travels America in search of the nation’s most mouth-watering, succulent and perfect cuts of meat (Premieres Sunday, August 12 at 10pm ET/PT; moves to regular time period on August 19 at 9pm ET/PT). . “All You Can Meat” takes viewers to some amazing corners of the country including Austin, TX, Kansas City, MO, Charlotte, NC, New Orleans, LA, Los Angeles, CA and Denver, CO to discover these mouth-watering recipes, and reveals how – and why – each location has a different approach to cooking these American classics. From the Texas pit master to the woodsman in Appalachia curing jerky in his shack, the best eats start with great American characters and there is much to be learned about a region by how they prepare their meat
