Food Network star and world traveler Robert Irvine hosts the new five-episode culinary competition The Globe. In each episode of this globe-trotting series like no other, four talented chefs compete across three rounds of culinary gameplay as they are transported to the greatest food destinations around the world via immersive LED screen backdrops that have the chefs traveling the globe without ever having to leave the arena. Joining Robert on this global journey is award-winning chef Daniela Soto-Innes as resident judge, along with appearances from special guest judges at each destination with ties to the region.

On the first virtual stop in Oaxaca City, the chefs cook with grasshoppers.

The competing chefs start in Mexico City with a taco duo. Then they must create a Hawaiian plate lunch using the diverse regional ingredients of Maui, Hawaii. In Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, the finalists create a vegan platter with no utensils allowed.
