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).Duffy Keys / Christina Machamer - "B Cellars"
B Cellars is located in Calistoga on the historic Silverado Trail, just a few minutes from downtown Calistoga, nestled beneath the Vaca mountain range in the Napa Valley. Founded in 2003 by business partners Duffy Keys and Jim Borsack, B Cellars is a premium winery and tasting lounge committed to the artisan approach to create complex, perfectly balanced wines. A modern-day négociant in the classic French model, B Cellars crafts exceptional blends produced from grapes procured from Napa Valley’s most coveted vineyard properties. The B Cellars approach delivers flavor profiles rarely available from single-vineyard, single-varietal wineries, making B Cellars vintages ideal for pairing with creatively articulated foods. B Cellars’ multi-vineyard winemaking strategy, allows for the blending of matchless varietals from around Napa Valley to create unique wines with distinct character, depth, and “layers” of flavors. B Cellars produces wines from Napa Valley’s most sought-after, marquee vineyards, offered at prices substantially lower than other producers who have access to many of the same vineyards. B Cellars’ hand-crafted wines are made from grapes grown on nine prime Napa Valley vineyard sites, including To Kalon, Dr. Crane, Caldwell, Williamson Ranch, Juliana, Maldonado, Star, Stagecoach, and Lewelling.
