Bennett's role as a host comes after a long break from television. He appears to be excited about it. He posted on social media sharing information and indicating his anticipation. "Look who's back on @foodnetwork Battle of the Decades Aug 16," he said in his Instagram post that features a photo of him on set.
As for the show's content, "Battle of the Decades" will feature a panel of celebrity guests from various backgrounds as judges for the contestants, which will consist of three teams of chefs competing against each other; the twist? Each team will be comprised of people born in different generations. To spice it up even more, challenges will include cooking with utensils and ingredients from previous decades. "The dichotomy of the generational teams and judges ups the ante of the cook offs and adds to the suspense to find out which team and generation will reign supreme," head of content for Food, Warner Bros. Discovery Betsy Ayala told Food Network.
