Passion Showcasing New Scripps Titles

LONDON: The catalogue at Passion Distribution includes three new food competition shows from Scripps Networks International and Food Network, to be featured alongside a host of returning titles in the same genre.

24 Hour Restaurant Battle is a weekly competition that pits two teams—consisting of a chef and restaurant manager—against each other to prove they have what it takes to open a restaurant. Great Food Truck Race features food truckers as they cook their way across the country. Cupcake Wars watches the competition between four cupcake bakers.

Returning food series include Ace of Cakes, with a total of 110 episodes now available; Secrets of a Restaurant Chef, in its sixth season; and 5 Ingredient Fix, in its fourth run.

Greg Moyer, the president of Scripps Networks International, commented: “Scripps Networks International and Food Network offer the global television community some of the strongest and best performing food programs and formats available to support broadcasters around the world. New titles such as Cupcake Wars, 24 Hour Restaurant Battle and Great Food Truck Race capitalize on the growing demand for food and lifestyle programming that attracts a large, affluent, young adult audience”
