A new series will begin on Food Network starting on Monday, May 23rd called Kids BBQ Championship where kids will compete to win a prize of $20,000 and a feature in Food Network Magazine.  The series will be six episodes long and eight kids will be competing by showing off their BBQ skills and creativity on the grill.

The show will be co-hosted by Food Network Star season 11 winner Eddie Jackson and Camila Alves.  Camila Alves is a model/designer who also has a lifestyle website.  She is probably most known for being married to actor Matthew McConaughey.

So it looks like Food Network Star Eddie Jackson has found another gig related to BBQ, but it remains to be seen if BBQ Blitz will come back for another season.  It seems like Food Network prefers Eddie as a host rather having him cook on a show.  Also, Kids BBQ Championship follows the trend of Food Network having more kids programming as well as more celebrities on the network.

Here is the full press release about the show along with links to the episode descriptions from Multivu.
