The Food Network show airs on Sundays at 8 p.m. and is set in a grocery store where four talented chefs compete against each other through three cooking challenges.

During the local competition in Kirkland, four contestants chosen by Mark Christopher of Warm 106.9 were given five minutes and $100 to search the store and create as many dinner combinations that they could come up with. Contestants were also provided with shopping lists and tasked with gathering these items without a cart. [ more MARKET page 2 ]
