Oklahoma City's chef Kevin Lee is set to make his return to the Food Network at 8 p.m. Tuesday as he takes on the titans of "Bobby's Triple Threat."

Lee is no stranger to time in the Food Network spotlight, having won against Iron Chef Alex Guarnaschelli on her show "Alex vs. America," as well as having competed on "Beat Bobby Flay," "Guy's Grocery Games" and "Superchef Grudge Match." Lee also competed on Season 5 of "Tournament of Champions," where he made it to the quarterfinals before being knocked out of the competition.

Lee will challenge Bobby Flay's Titans — Michael Voltaggio, Tiffany Derry and Brooke Williamson — needing to defeat all three for a shot at $25,000. As an added bonus, Williamson has something to prove in what could be an exciting a rematch, after Lee knocked her out of "Tournament of Champions" in the first round.
