EPISODE DESCRIPTION | Four dessert professionals compete in their first challenge to capture the taste and look of summer's favorite destination - the beach! Next the competitors' ice cream concoctions must whisk away the judges on a tasty tour de France. Dessert giants Nancy Silverton, Zac Young, and ice cream tester John Harrison judge four ice cream makers as they duke it out for $10,000 and the title of King of Cones.

ABOUT KING OF CONES | Justin Willman hosts this special four-part stunt, as top-level dessert chefs are challenged to use their skills, creativity and ingenuity to make the most incredible ice cream treats imaginable on King of Cones, premiering Monday, August 4th at 8pm ET/PT on Food Network. In each episode, a giant ice cream truck arrives with a new theme and mystery ingredient that the contestants must translate into a uniquely delicious ice cream dessert - before time runs out. Contestants must survive three heart-pounding challenges that would leave any top dessert professional screaming over ice cream, with a rotating panel of judges, including Duff Goldman, Doug Quint, Zac Young, Nancy Silverton, Johnny Iuzzini, Paulette Goto, and Natasha Case determining who advances in each round and scoops up the grand prize of $10,000. In the end, only one will be named the first-ever King of Cones!
