Food Network Premieres Two New Shows

"Ice Brigade": Premieres March 3rd at 10pm

Ice Brigade follows former chef Randy Finch and his team of renegade ice artists as they blow the lid off ice sculpting by creating original, unique designs that defy the imagination. To these frozen outlaws, the standard wedding swans are simply huge ice cubes. The real thrill of their bone-chilling craft is to make life-sized interactive pool tables or ice bowling lanes with frozen pins and working bowling balls; or designing a grand piano ready to play chop sticks. Every week Randy and crew use chainsaws, chisels, and sledge hammers to sculpt giant blocks of rock- solid ice into art one could only dream of. No matter the job or locale, the mission remains the same, get the job done, before it all melts away.
