Taste Hall of Famer Josh Elkin of Epic Meal Time to Host Cooking Channel Series
Multi-TASTE AWARD Winner, and Taste Hall of Famer, Josh Elkin of Epic Meal Time is set to host a new Cooking Channel competition series called Sugar Showdown.
This is quite a transition from the web and YouTube, where the series and Epic team found its fame, but not too much of a surprise. Recently the team had also starred in a hit series on FYI, called “Epic Meal Empire.”
Per our colleagues at TubeFilter:
“Produced by Architect Films, Sugar Showdown pits three bakers against each other for the chance to win $10,000 and the title of best dessert chef around.”
The one caveat is that Josh may no longer be part of the Epic team, as he pursues these other opportunities.
