Future Today has debuted two original competition series on the Fawesome streaming channel: Fawesome Family Game Show<\/em> and Southern Food Truck Wars<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Fawesome Family Game Show<\/em> is a quiz show hosted by LaTangela Fay that sees two teams compete in fast-paced, reimagined classic games such as Etch It Out, a Pictionary-inspired drawing game; Word Scramble, based on Boggle and Scrabble; Word Feud, a Family Feud-style guessing game; and more. The winner of each episode walks away with a $1,000 cash prize.<\/p>\n

The series is created by Aaron L. Williams of Digital Media Studios and Joshua K. Carpenter of Global Content. Williams serves as director and also produces alongside Carpenter. Vikrant Mathur, co-founder of Future Today, and Alok Ranjan are executive producers.<\/p>\n

Southern Food Truck Wars<\/em> follows food trucks in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, as they compete for the title of Southern Food Truck Champion. The chefs battle create their signature dishes to impress the judges on three criteria: presentation, taste and execution. Hosted by TV celebrity chef Jay Ducote, the judges panel features Ducote, Carpenter, Tameeka Stewart and Darrell Freeman.<\/p>\n

Each 22-minute episode leads to a grand finale where two final competing trucks go head-to-head across six rounds. The winning truck receives $1,000, a $5,000 advertising package and the champion title.<\/p>\n

\u201cFood trucks are where culinary innovation happens,\u201d Ducote said. \u201cChefs who own and run their own businesses battle it out with local flare. I\u2019m excited to host Southern Food Truck Wars<\/em> to get a firsthand look at the cuisine the best food trucks in the south are putting out. This show is a perfect place for me to serve as a culinary ambassador, mentor and spokesperson for our food culture and the community that is embodied in the rich flavors of the food truck!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGame shows have a magical way of bringing families together, and these original competition series represent an exciting leap forward for Fawesome,\u201d Mathur said. \u201cWhen parents and kids gather around to cheer on their favorite contestants, they create unforgettable moments together. With Southern Food Truck Wars<\/em> and Fawesome Family Game Show<\/em>, we\u2019re revolutionizing family entertainment by delivering premium content that\u2019s completely free.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOur data shows that families are shifting dramatically to streaming; these original series create the perfect environment for advertisers to connect with engaged family audiences,\u201d added Mathur. \u201cWe\u2019re offering advertisers a unique opportunity to reach the primary purchasing decision-makers in brand-safe and premium environments that prove to drive results.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
