A Providence chef brought her Puerto Rican flavors to ‘Guy’s Grocery Games.’ What it was like

When Guy Fieri’s “Guy’s Grocery Games” episode “10 Pounds, Two Rounds” premieres Jan. 31 at 9 p.m. on Food Network, a familiar Providence face will be on the small screen for her television debut.

Little Sister chef/owner Milena Pagán is one of four chefs to take on a Flavortown first. They’ll have to shop for and prepare two complete meals for four using no more than 10 pounds of total ingredients. The winning chef can turn their food dishes into as much as $20,000.

Pagán can’t say much more about how the competition went. But she did suggest viewers should stay around ’til the end.

All about Guy Fieri

Guy Fieri, who’s long been married to a Rhode Island native, has always been one to shine the light on chefs in the Ocean State, especially with his “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.”

Pagán had nothing but good things to say about her 36 hours filming the show in Santa Rosa, California.

It may have been rushed but, she said, “I had so much fun! I didn’t care if I won or lost.”

“I would go back and relive that day for the rest of my life.”
