“Dear PoPville,
We have a freestanding overhead garage door facing our alley that needs to be either repaired or replaced. We have yet to find anyone who has had a good experience with a garage door company, so I thought I’d put it out to the masses for help. Any companies folks would recommend?”

“100 Cooks
All New June 7 at 9|8c
Terry Crews welcomes 100 of America’s elite home cooks to the 100 Cooks arena where they’ll be challenged to run the gauntlet
Host Terry Crews welcomes 100 of America’s elite home cooks to the 100 Cooks arena where they’ll be challenged to run the gauntlet of the most unpredictable pro-chef level cooking competition of all time. The cooks are randomly selected to compete in challenges that range from blind taste tests to full-on 30-minute cooking battles. In a mid-season twist, the winner of each challenge will be given a chance to either take the cash prize associated with the challenge or add it to the ever-growing grand prize, which starts at $100,000! In the end, 99 cooks will be eliminated by judges Alex Guarnaschelli and Nick DiGiovanni, and one talented home cook will prove they are the best of the best and take home the largest cash prize in the history of Food Network — as much as $250,000.
100 Cooks Premieres Sunday, June 7th at 9pm ET/PT on Food Network and streams the next day on HBO Max”
