Selena + Restaurant: Selena Gomez Unveils New Cooking Show for the Food Network

Following the success of Selena + Chef, Golden Globe nominee Selena Gomez is set to star in a brand new cooking variety show on the Food Network titled, Selena + Restaurant.

“After cooking mostly virtually from my kitchen with some of the best chefs for the last four years, I was thrilled to step into their world,” Gomez said in a statement. “You’ll have to see if being in person helped my skills at all.”

Selena + Restaurant will see Gomez going out of her kitchen to personally learn from different chefs at their respective restaurants. The series will debut with two episodes starting on May 2 on the Food Network and Max.

What to expect in Selena + Restaurant?

“In Selena + Restaurant, Gomez will be accompanied by best friend, Raquelle Stevens, as her cooking skills are put to the test by the best in the business,” reads the logline. “Over six episodes, chefs Shirley Chung, Keith Corbin, Stephanie Izard, Andrew & Michelle Muñoz, Wolfgang Puck and Marcel Vigneron will teach and test Selena to see how quickly she can learn the ropes with the ultimate goal of creating a dish good enough to make each restaurant’s menu. Each chef will also highlight a charity that is meaningful to them during each episode, with all of the featured non-profits receiving a donation to further their cause.”

The cooking show is executive produced by showrunner Shaun Minoprio, with Gomez producing. Eli Holzman, Aaron Saidman and Melissa Stokes are also serving as executive producers. The Only Murders in the Building star’s partnership with the Food Network began last year with Selena + Chef: Home for the Holidays.
