This upcoming season is titled Worst Cooks in America: Talented and Terrible, and it features Burrell and new mentor Chef Gabe Bertaccini.
“Anne Burrell was a one-of-a-kind talent whose loss is being deeply felt by family, friends and fans,” said Betsy Ayala, Head of Content, Food, Warner Bros. Discovery. “With these special programming events, we hope to honor Anne and celebrate her impact on Food Network and beyond, and to offer fans a way to remember her passion and culinary prowess that ran through everything she did.”
The episodes for the June 25 Burrell tribute block include:
10 p.m. ET/PT – Guy’s Grocery Games – “All-Stars and A-Lister Dinners”
Culinary titans Anne Burrell, Eric Greenspan, Jet Tila and Marcel Vigneron aren’t spared Guy Fieri’s twists when a bowling game selects some strikingly bizarre ingredients for a hearty lunch. Next, the chefs have to think outside the boxed foods and make their best dish using processed items from the middle aisles of the store. Then, the chefs experience real highs and lows when the feared Food Wheel determines the high-end and low-end ingredients in their A-list dinner. One All-Star chef goes on a shopping spree for charity worth up to $20,000.

11:30 p.m. ET/PT – Worst Cooks in America: Boot Camp Diaries
Take a deep dive into the boot camp training on Worst Cooks in America. The colorful cast of terrible cooks display their “skills” — from crazy knife techniques to struggles with mysterious vegetables — and almost burn down the camp with grease fires. Chef mentors will teach, but there’s only so much that Worst Cooks can learn.
The description for Burrell’s final season of Worst Cooks in America reads, “In the premiere episode, chefs Anne Burrell and Gabe Bertaccini have their work cut out for them as they attempt to turn a bunch of culinary train wrecks into kitchen stars, but first, they need to know what they are up against. The recruits kick things off with their signature showstopper dish, and in the main dish challenge, they tackle the ultimate test: recreating the chefs’ ‘winner winner chicken dinner.’
“Those with promise move on while the rest face elimination. Across the season, with guidance from Anne and Gabe, the recruits will tackle restaurant classics, try to master global cuisines, and compete in the fan-favorite Remote Control Chef challenge, in their bid to be the best of the worst.”
Burrell’s final season of Worst Cooks in America premieres Monday, July 28 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Food Network and streams the next day on HBO Max.
