Selena Gomez’s New Cooking Show ‘Selena + Restaurant’ Sets Premiere Date and Takes Her Out of the Kitchen (EXCLUSIVE)
variety.comJennifer Maas TV Business Writer Selena Gomez is finally leaving her house. Following four seasons of her pandemic-born HBO Max show “Selena + Chef,” shot entirely in her own kitchen, the “Only Murders in the Building” star will join chefs in their own environment, rather than over Zoom, for the debut of her new series “Selena + Restaurant” May 2.
The show will premiere with two back-to-back episodes at 7 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. ET on Food Network and be available for streaming on Max.
Over the six-episode first season of “Selena + Restaurant,” Gomez and her best friend and “Selena + Chef” co-star, Raquelle Stevens, will head to multiple Los Angeles restaurants to work with chefs Shirley Chung of Ms Chi, Keith Corbin at Alta, Stephanie Izard of Girl & the Goat, Andrew and Michelle Muñoz at Moo’s Craft Barbecue, Wolfgang Puck at CUT, and Marcel Vigneron of Lemon Grove.
An added twist for this new show, apart from taking place outside of Gomez’s home, is that on these episodes, Gomez won’t just be learning to cook in these professional kitchens, but also trying to make a signature dish good enough to land on the restaurant’s menu.
