Cooking Contest Show To Feature Lakewood Chef, More Details

LAKEWOOD, OH — Guy Fieri will welcome Salt chef Jill Vedaa onto his "Guy’s Grocery Games" cooking competition on April 15. Vedaa will be a competitor on the episode. The show will premiere at 8 p.m. on Sunday.

A Food Network spokesperson confirmed Vedaa's appearance and provided a brief description of the episode she's featured in. Judges on the episode will be chef and host of the TV show "Southern at Heart" Damaris Phillips, celebrity chef Jet Tila, and "Top Gear" host Rutledge Wood.

Here's the episode description for the April 15 show: "Four chefs are given one chance to shop for all three rounds -- and they have no idea what they're being asked to make. First, Guy Fieri asks the chefs to make their best lunch. They'll then have to use their remaining ingredients to make an international dish featuring a surprise ingredient from the international aisle. Finally, the chefs must use the ingredients they've saved to make their best refined dinner. Only one chef will out-cook the others and earn a shopping spree worth up to $20,000."

Understandably, the spokesperson could not tell us how Vedaa did in the competition. We'll have to wait and see.
