Ree Drummond, better known as The Pioneer Woman on Food Network, is teaming up with Guy Fieri for a new food competition series. The series will be called Big Bad Budget Battle and will premiere on Food Network and Discovery+. The show is set to premiere on August 9.
In each episode, three cooks must shop in Flavortown Market, also seen in Guy’s show Guy’s Grocery Games. They have a small amount of cash and must buy ingredients for certain dishes. Only one contestant will win based on their cooking and budgeting skills.
