Roger Mooking sets off the smoke alarm with a sizzling hot new season of 'Man Fire Food' on Cooking Channel

Season premiere Tuesday, July 14

Chef Roger Mooking returns to Cooking Channel with the hottest season yet of "Man Fire Food," premiering Tuesday, July 14 (8 p.m. ET). The smoke signals take Mooking across the country as he continues to discover the most inventive ways cooking with fire adds flavor and whole lot of heat to delicious dishes. Whether it's cooking over an open fire, grilling over charcoal, barbecuing low and slow, or smoking in the pit, the heat is on.

Trinidadian-born Mooking is no stranger to combining various influences to new and exciting culinary adventures. He is the host and co-creator of his internationally broadcast television series "Everyday Exotic." His award-winning cookbook, based on the show, explores pairing ingredients from all corners of the globe with everyday meals.

Mooking also is the co-host of the hit show "Heat Seekers" on Food Network, as well as a recurring judge on "Chopped Canada." He recently opened Twist By Roger Mooking, a restaurant that incorporates global flavors into locally sourced, North American comfort food, making him a third-generation restaurateur.

Taking his talents outside of the kitchen, Mooking released his most recent album, "Feedback Acoustic." For this Juno award-winning recording artist, the music and epicurean world are seamless. One feeds the body, the other the soul; it is all food in all its various forms.
