This looks like it's going to be a very interesting show.
First class chefs Bobby Flay, Michael Symon, Anne Burrell and Alex Guarnaschelli tackle one of the most massive problems in food today - waste! Divided into two teams, with only 48 hours on the clock, they are challenged to create a multi course gourmet banquet worthy of their great reputations, but with a big twist; they can only use food that is on its way to the trash. The chefs' hunt takes them from grocery aisles to produce farms, and orchard lines to garbage piles, as they attempt to source enough ingredients to feed a gathering crowd. Bobby and Michael square off against Anne and Alex, as they challenge their views of food waste and how and why it is created.
According to Jonathan Bloom, creator of WastedFood.com, Americans waste as much as half of the food produced every year. In fact, between 160 and 295 billion pounds of food is thrown away each year -enough food to fill a 90,000 set football stadium every day.
