Last night, Lori Allred of Wine Dog Pictures attended the official Season 14 wrap party for Food Network Challenge. She was the story producer for two of the six episodes produced by High Noon Entertainment of Denver, Colorado.
“It was so much fun seeing the team again,” said Allred. “I especially loved chatting with our long-time celebrity chef Keegan Gerhard. Every episode, he is so supportive and encouraging of the competing chefs on the show. He really wants every one of them to succeed.”
Food Network brought back Challenge after an eight year hiatus. Allred has been with the series since the fourth season, initially as a segment producer.

This season, Gerhard was joined by celebrity chefs Matt Adlard and Claudia Sandoval. Together they decided who won each episode and received the $10-thousand prize. Also new this season, “Beverly Hills 90210” star Ian Ziering hosted the show.
The wrap party was held at Gerhard’s D Bar Restaurant.
