Chef from Tampa's Sal Y Mar will appear on Food Network show 'Supermarket Stakeout' this week

A local chef from one of Tampa's most popular rooftop eateries is about to make his Food Network debut.

Sal Y Mar's Executive Chef Johnathan Rodriguez is set to be a contestant on the latest episode of " Supermarket Stakeout " this week.

Supermarket Stakeout, now in its sixth season, centers around chefs creating dishes in a parking lot for judges based on ingredients they buy from customers at a grocery store, all while attempting to stay under a $500 budget.

"Alex Guarnaschelli asks four determined chefs to stake out and dish up a continental breakfast," says the episode's description. "Then, it's a close call to see whose culinary creations make judges Gabe Bertaccini and Damaris Phillips melt. The final two chefs must keep their cool and keep it creamy to walk away a winner."

Before taking the helm of Sal Y Mar rooftop restaurant in Midtown Tampa, Rodriguez was the Executive Chef for Sea Salt in St. Pete, Embassy Suites by Hilton, and Trump National Golf Club in New York.

Rodriguez's episode will air this Wednesday, May 15 at 9 p.m. EST on the Food Network.
