Endemol Shine Group: The format Family Food Fight arrives at Telefe in Argentina

Endemol Shine Group has announced the first Latin American deal for new culinary competition format Family Food Fight, with Endemol Shine Latino being commissioned to make a local Argentinian adaptation for Telefe.

ABC has commissioned Endemol Shine North America to create a version in the U.S. which is currently in production.
