We just love new food shows as a family, and Last Bite Hotel is really bringing something different to the table. Tituss Burgess hosts the show where chefs must not only be creative but also be savvy enough to form alliances as it will require more than just cooking skills to stay in the game. Eight chefs will be able to bring 13 ingredients to the hotel for their entire stay as they work on the challenges, trying not to get banished to Room 13. The interesting part is as chefs are eliminated they give their remaining ingredients to a remaining challenger, so that means you must make friends quickly.
Last Bite Hotel hotel will premiere on September 24th as the season itself consists of six-episodes on Food Network.

Tituss Burgess Is the Ultimate Hotel Manager and Game Master in New Competition Series Premiering September 24 at 9PM ET/PTIn Food Network’s newest competition series, Last Bite Hotel, premiering Tuesday, September 24 at 9PM ET/PT, eight chefs have been invited to a remote hotel for a game of resourcefulness and creativity. Tasked by the hotel manager to meet the culinary demands of the hotel’s VIP guests, each chef may only bring 13 ingredients for their entire stay. Cooking skills won’t be enough to get them to the finish line, as ingenuity and calculated risks are needed to survive and cook another day. Emmy® and SAG-nominated actor, musician and writer Tituss Burgess brings mystery, intrigue and his wry, dark wit to the game as the host and hotel manager who delivers quips and challenges as only he can.
As the game proceeds, each challenge completed means precious ingredients are dwindling, and, for the competitors, the chance of being banished to the dreaded Room 13 is increasing. As competitors are eliminated, they bequeath their remaining ingredients to chosen remaining challengers, making strategy and alliances a crucial part of surviving the competition.
“Last Bite Hotel takes the resourcefulness of culinary creativity to a whole new level. Precious provisions are carefully decided before chefs even step foot in the kitchen,” said Betsy Ayala, Head of Content, Food. “The competition’s twists and turns are made even more suspenseful by the macabre playfulness of the incredibly talented Tituss Burgess as hotel manager.”
