Battle of the Decades is put two chef duos together where they “must use popular ingredients and gadgets from the past as well as take on viral food trends and classic dishes, all while bridging the generational gap with their approach and techniques,” the release says.

“From Snoopy Sno-Cone machines to Easy Bake Ovens, it is no easy feat for the competitors as they navigate challenges based on trends such as 1950s gelatin molds and savory jello salads to modern day dishes like accordion potatoes and fluffy Japanese SoufflĂ© pancakes.”

As the teams narrow down, the members of the last team standing will then face off against each other “in an old school vs. new school match up to see which chef walks away with $10,000.”

Eddie Jackson, his dad, Eddie Jackson Sr., Antonia Lofaso and her daughter Xea Myers, Peter Fang and his daughter Kathy Fang, and Julian Rodarte and his father Beto Rodarte, will all serve as judges for the competition, reflecting the old school vs new school approach.

This isn’t Jonathan‘s first time on Food Network.

He actually teamed up with the channel the first time in 2015 to host Christmas Cookie Challenge, and he returned to host Cake Wars starting that same year until 2017, and in 2016, Cupcake Wars.

Jonathan was also the long-running host of Halloween Wars from 2016 to 2020.

Battle of the Decades will debut on August 16 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on Food Network.
