Fast Food Face Off Comes To BBC

Fast Food Face Off Comes To BBC Three

Stand Up comedian Josh Jones loves to eat amazing food but, because of a busy work and travel schedule, he usually ends up living off takeaways. That doesn’t mean his taste buds have to be disappointed though – oh no – he likes his fast food to be fancy. And he likes it to be served with a healthy portion of drama.

This one-off programme is a showdown set in Northern Ireland where he pits two of the tastiest takeaways in town against each other.

Chosen by local superstars Kristian Nairn (Hordor, Game of Thrones) and Gemma Bradley (Radio One) there can be only one winner in the Fast Food Face Off and to find out who will take home the trophy the entrepreneurial and street smart chefs must go head to head in some tantalising taste tests and timed challenges.

Josh samples his celebrity guests' go-to grub in opening round The Usual, before putting both establishments through their paces in the bulk order challenge The Big Eats, before finishing with The Special – the chef’s choice. Only one takeaway will be victorious  – but which one has the recipe for success?

This is the latest in a trend for fast-food-related entertainment. Amelia Dimoldenberg made her name with Chicken Shop Date, which saw her interview well-known stars such as Daniel Kaluuya, Little Mix’s Jade Thirwall and rappers Digga D and Slow Thai over boxes of fried chicken in various locations. Elijah Quashie, aka The Chicken Connoisseur, is known for his viral YouTube video series The Pengest Munch. And only this week Rob Beckett went viral when he posted a clip of himself after the England v Germany game eating KFC next to some plastic bags of rubbish.

Fast Food Face Off drops on BBC iPlayer on Monday 12th July. It will also air on BBC One on Monday 19th July at 10:35pm
