Selena Gomez hangs out with LA chefs in her new Food Network series
"Selena + Restaurant" will premiere Thursday, May 2, with an episode at Wolfgang Puck's Beverly Hills steakhouse.
Triple-threat Selena Gomez — singer, actor and Instagram influencer — will be working on another skill, cooking, in her new Food Network show, “Selena + Restaurant.”
In the show, she is coached by high-profile LA chefs including Wolfgang Puck.
The series will premiere in two half-hour episodes airing at 7 and 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 2.
In the first episode, Gomez will visit Puck’s Cut steakhouse in Beverly Hills, where she will go through two initiation tests before getting the chance to create a spicy seafood dish, according to the network’s episode guide.
In the second episode, Gomez teams with Shirley Chung, currently of Ms Chi Cafe in Culver City, to fold dumplings, smoke chicken in tea leaves and create a fusion version of a dish from her childhood.
Later episodes will feature the Lemon Grove in Hollywood, Moo’s Craft Barbecue and Girl & the Goat in Los Angeles.
The first episode will air again at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, May 4, preceded by a 2020 episode from an earlier series, “Selena + Chef,” which is airing at 9 a.m. Saturdays.
