Zach Bates on Food Network

Zach Bates is returning to the reality TV scene, but this experience will vary greatly from his 10 season as a cast member on Bringing Up Bates. This time, he will be a contestant on a new Food Network cooking show called 100 Cooks. Zach (also known as Cook No. 41) will be one of 100 home chefs competing for cash prizes of up to $250,000. 100 Cooks premieres on June 7th at 9pm EST.

  1. Unfortunately we don't have that channel but I sure wish him all the best. I honestly think he has an excellent shot at the prize. I watch him on YouTube and his cooking skills are fantastic! Good luck!!

    1. Are we watching the same YouTube? I don't think he's a good cook and his food safety skills worry me.

    1. What makes you think a cooking competition is a success of income? It's a prize if you win. Just be happy for him or get off the website.

  7. I like Zach but most of his cooking is all cream and mountains of parmesan cheese. Way too rich for everyday meals. Lighten up.

    2. I can't remember the last time I ate anything like that. Fifty years? More? Made it this far without any arteries needing to be unclogged. Must be doing something right. Zach had better get smart about his family's diet. Ask any doctor.

    1. I don't know as I don't have that channel and didn't watch. Cooking is tricky and that could have happened.

    2. Yes, he did. He said he made mistakes and would do it differently if he had the chance to do it again. He said he learned a lot and was just grateful for the experience.

    3. Yeah. Zach needs to learn to cover his mistakes' with sour cream and/or parmesan cheese. lol

    1. He's already out of the competition. Hope he keeps his day job. TV celebrity chef isn't going to be it.

  13. If he has trouble cooking an omelet, then he's not ready for prime time TV.
