Future Today has announced the launch of two Fawesome Originals competition series on its streaming channel: "Southern Food Truck Wars" and "Fawesome Family Game Show." These shows mark Fawesome's first venture into competition series, bringing high-stakes culinary battles and family-friendly game show challenges to viewers at no cost.
"Southern Food Truck Wars" is a six-episode series set in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where food trucks compete for the title of Southern Food Truck Champion. Hosted by TV celebrity chef Jay Ducote, the competition challenges chefs to showcase their signature dishes and impress the judges based on three key criteria: presentation, taste, and execution. The panel of judges includes Ducote, along with Joshua K. Carpenter, Tameeka Stewart, and Darrell Freeman, each contributing unique culinary expertise.
Each 22-minute episode keeps viewers engaged as the chefs face off, leading to a grand finale where two final competing trucks go head-to-head across six intense rounds. The winning truck receives $1,000, a $5,000 advertising package, and the coveted champion title. With high stakes and a celebration of Southern flavors, the show offers a thrilling experience for food lovers.
Meanwhile, "Fawesome Family Game Show" is a lively quiz show hosted by LaTangela Fay, where two teams compete in fast-paced, reimagined classic games. Each episode features fun twists on familiar challenges, such as "Etch It Out," a Pictionary-inspired drawing game where players sketch clues for their teammates to guess words or phrases; "Word Scramble," a game based on Boggle or Scrabble in which players rearrange letters to form words or solve jumbled word puzzles; "Chain Reaction," a word-linking challenge where teams build a chain of words or phrases that logically connect to the next; and "Word Feud," a Family Feud-style guessing game covering a variety of engaging and unexpected categories. Contestants must put their creativity, teamwork, and quick thinking to the test as they compete for exciting rewards. The winner of each episode walks away with a $1,000 cash prize.
Created by Aaron L. Williams of Digital Media Studios and Joshua K. Carpenter of Global Content, the show is directed by Williams and produced by Williams and Carpenter, with Vikrant Mathur and Alok Ranjan serving as executive producers. Now available to stream on demand, the series offers six action-packed episodes that bring family-friendly competition and entertainment to audiences of all ages.
