Louisville chef Damaris Phillips returns to Food Network with 'Outrageous Pumpkins' show
Louisville's celebrity chef Damaris Phillips returns to the Food Network with a show that could inspire your own pumpkin carving this Halloween season.
Phillips is back hosting Season 4 of "Outrageous Pumpkins," premiering Sunday, Sept. 24, at 10 p.m.
Here's how the show works: Eight elite pumpkin carvers will create their most impressive jack-o'-lanterns in an attempt to win a $25,000 prize and the title of "Outrageous Pumpkins Champion."
This year the challenges are bigger and more outrageous than ever, with jack-o'-lanterns, 3D carvings, structures and Atlantic Giants.
Phillips joins judges Terri Hardin and Ralph Attanasia to guide the contenders through these ghoulishly great carves to see who will be the best in the patch.
Phillips also gives fans an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at the set and her reaction to past pumpkin creations at FoodNetwork.com/OutrageousPumpkins.
You can follow along with the competition on social media and tell The Food Network which pumpkin masterpieces you think are worthy of winning using #OutrageousPumpkins.
