Food Networks BBQ Brawl has Caribbean and Asian fusion chef from Michigan competing – MLive.com

He hopes his Caribbean and Asian fusion cooking will wow the celebrity judges on season 2 of Food Networks BBQ Brawl.

Chef Max Hardy is one of the 12 chefs from around the country competing on the show which premieres on Monday, June 14 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT.

Chef Hardy is the head chef and owner of COOP Detroit, a part of the Detroit Shipping Co. The restaurant is a Caribbean and Asian fusion grilled chicken concept. Chef Hardy says he gets his passion for cooking from both of his parents.

My mom, being from the Bahamas, food was always essential for us doing events and cooking on weekends and holidays and my dad was a weekend barbecue warrior. I do barbecue at my restaurant, but its more of a pastime for me. Chef Hardy told MLive. Im going to bring out a wide range of my cooking style on the show, but my Caribbean side is always going to come out.

BBQ Brawl is hosted by celebrity chefs Bobby Flay and Michael Symon. However, theres a new twist in store for this season as they are joined by a third coach, Eddie Jackson. The three will mentor and coach the 12 contestants as they are broken into three teams with various challenges each episode.

A panel of celebrity judges will then decide which team was the least successful each episode with one competitor being eliminated.

Meantime, if you head to COOP Detroit, Chef Hardy recommends a few of his signature flavors.

The jerk wings are amazing. Were known for those the most. I make them with a guava barbecue sauce. I would try the Caribbean corn. Its loaded up with cilantro aioli, queso fresco, toasted coconut and bacon crumbles. The jerk ribs are my all-time favorite. Thats what I love the most.

Again, you can watch Chef Hardy on BBQ Brawl on the Food Network. Season 2 premieres on Monday, June 14 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT. The winner earns the title of Master of Cue and receives a starring role in a Food Network series.
