Lexington Chef Competes on Food Network: Best of the Bluegrass
Lexington’s very own culinary star, Chef Sam Fore, is stepping into the spotlight on Food Network’s exciting new show, 24 in 24: Last Chef Standing. Known for her innovative dishes and bold flavors, Fore is among 24 talented chefs facing off in a high-stakes competition featuring 24 challenges in just as many hours. The grand prize? A whopping $100,000, the largest payout in the show’s history.
Set your reminders for the premiere of 24 in 24: Last Chef Standing on Sunday, April 26th at 8 pm on Food Network. Can’t catch it live? No worries – you can stream it the following day on HBO Max and discovery+.
But that’s not all! Chef Sam Fore recently sat down with Jennifer Palumbo to chat about her latest projects and showcase her mouth-watering cheese and onion roti. If you’re in the mood to savor Chef Fore’s delectable creations, be sure to swing by Tuk Tuk Snack Shop Pop Ups in Lexington.
