GORDON RAMSAY’S FOOD STARS: Lisa Vanderpump Joins Season 2

Days after Fox officially renewed GORDON RAMSAY’S FOOD STARS for a second season, the network revealed there is a major shakeup in store for the reality competition.

Lisa Vanderpump has joined the sophomore season of the series—and she’ll be competing against Gordon Ramsay. According to Fox, “Ramsay and Vanderpump—two prominent, influential personalities and tycoons in their respective industries— will face-off as they each select food and beverage industry entrepreneurs to join their teams and then put them through a gauntlet of real-world challenges designed to showcase their business skills, test their drive and prove they have what it takes to become the next great culinary entrepreneur. As for Ramsay vs. Vanderpump, the ultimate outcome will be whose mentorship leads to victory for one of their team’s Food Stars hopefuls.”

“Lisa is a tough, shrewd restaurateur and TV star,” said Ramsay in a statement. “She is a real force in business and true friend. However, make no mistake, the competition will be fierce between us!”

“Gordon is quite literally larger-than-life, an iconic figure and a dear friend,” said Vanderpump. “Setting that aside, we’re both tenacious, tireless, competitive and demanding of ourselves and others, so while I salute the man and his many successes and defer to his mastery in the kitchen, I will never defer to him on this show. Game on, Gordon!”

“Pitting Gordon against Lisa creates a new layer of intensity for the Food Stars competition,” said Allison Wallach, President of Unscripted Programming, FOX Entertainment. “Matching these brilliant and uncompromising industry titans who know what they want and how to get it, will give both our contestants and viewers a unique window into how industry heavyweights strategize, lead, win and entertain.”
