Home cooks face off against celebrity chefs for a chance to win $5,000.

Three chefs bring $5,000 each to play three hands of an underground culinary poker game, creating dishes based on the cards they are dealt and betting with their own money. With unpredictable challenges and wildcard elements, chefs must rely on their instincts to impress mystery guest judges through blind taste tests and win cash from their fellow competitors.

Food Network's most ambitious and grueling culinary competition to date. Featuring 24 talented and fearless chefs who take on 24 food challenges in 24 consecutive, non-stop hours, the 24-hour competition takes the chefs to the extreme, demanding they display the skills, creativity and stamina needed to be an elite chef. At the end of the 24 hours, there can be only one true master left standing.

Host Guy Fieri gathers the world's greatest chefs for the most-intense culinary competition ever held. Emotions run high in the single-elimination, sudden-death bracket tournament as the competitors face off in head-to-head battles to stay alive. As the pressure mounts, shocking surprises unfold both inside and outside the arena. All the chefs have the talent and skill to walk away with the ultimate championship title in food, but only one will win the Tournament of Champions.
