NBC is premiering a new food competition show tonight at 8pm called Food Fighters, which is hosted by Adam Richman.  In the show, amateur cooks cook their signature dish, and go up against professional chefs to try to win over a dinner party consisting of the the American public.  There are five professional chefs per episode, and each professional chef the amateur cooks beat, the prize gets larger, with the top prize being $100,000.

Looking at the previews on the NBC website, a lot of Food Network chefs/personalities will be competing as the professional chefs on the show.  Some include:

• Duff Goldman (Ace of Cakes)
• Michele Ragussis (Food Network Star Season 8)
• Vic Vegas (Food Network Star Season 7)
• Jet Tila (Iron Chef America, Cutthroat Kitchen, Guy's Grocery Games)
• Eric Greenspan (Next Iron Chef)
• Elizabeth Falkner (Next Iron Chef)
• Cat Cora (Iron Chef America, America's Best Cook)
• G. Garvin (Guy's Grocery Games, Cooking Channel)
• Marcel Vigneron (Next Iron Chef)
• Antonia Lofaso (Cutthroat Kitchen)

I am sure there are others, but these are just the ones that you could tell by looking at photos and videos on the Food Fighters website.  There are also a lot of chefs that have appeared on Bravo's Top Chef that will be appearing on the show if you are a fan of Top Chef.

So if you don't want to watch Chopped reruns on Tuesdays at 8pm on the Food Network, this is another option for a cooking show with Food Network stars.
