Cincinnati's talented chefs are no strangers to reality television food game shows — and one more familiar face will be taking the "stage" tonight.

Chef Jackson Rouse, former executive chef of Queen City culinary spots like The Rookwood and Bauer Farm Kitchen, will battle it out on the Food Network's Guy's Grocery Games tonight (Sept. 30) at 9 p.m.

The competition, hosted by Guy Fieri, invites four chefs to the "Flavortown Market," where they compete in three challenges using ingredients from the store to show off their culinary craft. The winner takes home $20,000. 

Other notable Cincinnati chefs who have competed on the show include Arnold's Kayla Robison and Boomtown Biscuits & Whiskey's Christian Gill.
