Food Network’s First Livestream Is Coming to TikTok

The first Food Network x TikTok LIVE collaboration will take place on July 8, at 8 p.m. ET. The theme of this stream is Tomato Season, where the hosts will walk viewers through recipes that celebrate this iconic summer fruit.

The Food Network host for the first episode is chef, restaurant owner, and cookbook author Antonia Lofaso. You might recognize this seasoned chef from Tournament of Champions, where she took home the crown in Season 6; she’s also starred in Food Network favorites like Beat Bobby Flay, Chopped, Guy’s Grocery Games, and more.

Lofaso will partner with Jose Xiloj (aka Jose El Cook, or @jose.elcook), a content creator and recipe developer with nearly 3 million followers on TikTok alone. His fans adore his humorous, friendly, and easy-to-follow approach to the recipes and cooking tips he shows off on his social media page—and he’ll be bringing his expertise to Food Network viewers this week.

Together, Lofaso and Xiloj will cook up tomato-themed appetizers and main dishes on TikTok LIVE, offering their best tips and tricks along the way.
