MTV’s House of Food

In my first TV role at T-Group Entertainment, I developed and associate produced House of Food on MTV.

I wrote and designed the pitch deck, shot and co-produced the sales tape, casted talent, and scouted locations.

Once the show was greenlit, I worked as an associate producer.

The Challenge

How do you capitalize on the success of Chopped, Kitchen Nightmares, and Iron Chef in a brand new format for the MTV audience?

The Solution

We took a page from food competition favorites like Cut Throat Kitchen and Guy’s Grocery Games and re-imagined them for an MTV audience by adding format elements from MTV favorites such as The Real World and Jersey Shore.

The result came in the form of House of Food, a house reality format with 8 contestants battling in weekly challenges to earn an apprenticeship from 3 of LA’s hottest chefs.

The Result

MTV ordered 10 episodes and the show became one of the highest streamed shows on MTV.com
