We always love a new seasonal cooking competition, and Easter Basket Challenge fits that bill. Competitors complete in a series of Easter-themed baking challenges, using everything from jelly beans and Peeps to pastries and Easter eggs. Food Network personality Sunny Anderson hosts this three-part series. And if there was ever a prize to sweeten the deal, how about a golden egg filled with $25,000?

The Great Food Truck Race: Alaska
Season 13 of this popular on-the-road show features an exclusive Alaskan setting. Seven teams compete head-to-head including Breakfast for Dinner, Meatball Mamas, Metro Chili, Querencia Mia, Some Like It Tot, Tasty Balls, and The Oink Mobile. Just going off names, I can’t wait to watch these three-person teams serve up some the gourmet goods . The Alaskan landscape will certainly come into play here, the question is who will come out on top?

Tournament of Champions
The only thing better than watching experts compete in cooking competitions is watching experts who have already won before. on Tournament of Champions, there professionals compete bracket-style in head-to-head in cooking challenges, with everything from the protein to the equipment and length of time randomly selected. No culinary masterpiece is complete without the Mayor of Flavortown, Guy Fieri, who brings some much needed relief to this intense series.
