A Rhode Island chef with Massachusetts roots will be competing on Food Network’s “Guy’s Grocery Games” Wednesday night, Jan. 31.
Milena Pagán, chef and owner of Little Sister in Providence and soon-to-open Rebelle Bagels in Cambridge, Mass., will appear in the episode of “Triple G” at 9 p.m. Pagán will be making dishes inspired by her Puerto Rican upbringing, a spokesperson told MassLive.
The show sends four chefs running through the aisles in a grocery store cooking competition. The chefs are hit by real-world challenges like being “out-of-stock” of an ingredient or having to create a meal using “5 items or less” on a $10 budget, the show’s description states. The winning chef gets to take a victory lap for a chance some serious cash. The episode title for Wednesday night at 9 is titled “10 Pounds, Two Rounds.”
You can tune in by watching Food Network on Philo, FuboTV or DirecTV Stream.
