Just under a week following the tragic death of Anne Burrell, Food Network has announced its plans to honor the late Worst Cooks in America co-host.

On Wednesday (June 25), a special programming block kicks off at 10 p.m. ET/PT with a 2015 episode of Guy’s Grocery Games titled “All-Stars and A-Lister Dinners,” in which Burrell competed alongside Eric Greenspan, Jet Tila, and Marcel Vigneron. According to the network, in the episode, the four culinary titans “aren’t spared Guy Fieri‘s twists when a bowling game selects some strikingly bizarre ingredients for a hearty lunch.”

“Next, the chefs have to think outside the boxed foods and make their best dish using processed items from the middle aisles of the store,” the episode’s description continues. “Then, the chefs experience real highs and lows when the feared Food Wheel determines the high-end and low-end ingredients in their A-list dinner. One All-Star chef goes on a shopping spree for charity worth up to $20,000.”

This will be directly followed by Worst Cooks in America: Worst of the Worst at 11 p.m. ET/PT, which features a countdown of “the top 15 worst dishes ever from Worst Cooks in America,” and Worst Cooks in America: Boot Camp Diaries — ” a deep dive into the boot camp training on Worst Cooks in America” — at 11:30 p.m. ET/PT.

A new season of Worst Cooks in America called Worst Cooks in America: Talented and Terrible, which features Burrell’s final appearance as a mentor alongside Gabe Bertaccini, premieres on Monday, July 28 at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

Burrell, 55, was discovered unresponsive in her home in Brooklyn on Tuesday morning (June 17), and eventually declared dead, per TMZ. Though a cause of death has yet to be officially determined, The New York Times reported on Friday (June 20) that her death is now being investigated by the New York City Police Department as a possible drug overdose.

In a statement, Warner Bros. Head of Food Content Betsy Ayala praised Burrell as “a one-of-a-kind talent whose loss is being deeply felt by family, friends and fans.”

“With these special programming events, we hope to honor Anne and celebrate her impact on Food Network and beyond, and to offer fans a way to remember her passion and culinary prowess that ran through everything she did,” Ayala added.

Several Food Network stars have mourned Burrell’s passing online, including Duff Goldman, Rachael Ray, and Robert Irvine.

Seasons 1-28 of Worst Cooks in America are streaming on Max.
