The Ultimate Food Network Drinking Game

By Marissa Norwood at University of Central Florida

So we’ve all had our moments while watching some show on Food Network where we just started counting on our hand the number of times a certain event occurred. Recently, I’ve been binging on Food Network shows between Netflix and the channel’s website.

While watching different challenges, I was amused by how many times someone thought they might not finish a challenge or how many times they forgot an ingredient. I must admit, my favorite show is Cutthroat Kitchen because I’m all about those crazy sabotages! However, I enjoy Cupcake Wars, Chopped and the countless relaxing instructional cooking shows other people like as well.

With everything that goes down on these shows, there had to be a drinking game. With that said, I give you the Food Network Drinking Game.

Drink:

• Every time someone says “you can do this at home.”
• Every time a chef says “this is a family recipe.”
• Every time a chef says a dish is inspired from their heritage.
• Every time a chef cooks with alcohol.
• Every time a chef drops food on the ground.

Take a shot:

• Every time a chef has to rethink their dish halfway through a challenge.
• Every time a judge says they’re worried about a contestant’s technique or dish.
• Every time a judge kicks off your favorite contestant.
• Every time a contestant throws shade towards another chef. Take two if they’re REALLY shady.

Take two shots:

• Every time someone says they’re not going to finish a challenge.
• Every time someone says they don’t know how to cook with an ingredient.
• Every time someone cuts themselves during a challenge.
• Every time someone forgets an ingredient.
• Every time a chef argues with a judge.

• Every time a judge says “this is lacking flavor.”
• Every time a chef says they should have bid on a sabotage.
• Every time a chef says they should have just done *insert statement here*.
• Every time a chef makes an excuse for why their dish isn’t what it should be. E.g. “This is a deconstructed *insert dish here.*”

Feel free to adjust for the number of people you’re drinking with, the drinks you have and for the shows you’re watching. Have fun with it and happy drinking!
