Think you know what could be the next Cronut-level food craze?
The hosts of new show “The Feed” — Gail Simmons from Food & Wine magazine, chef/restaurateur Marcus Samuelsson and food writer/comedian Max Silvestri — have some ideas, and will put them to the test on the premiere (Thursday at 10 p.m. on FYI) of the New York City food-adventure series.
Though each half-hour episode features the three hosts competing in two food-themed challenges, “The Feed” doesn’t have the warring contestants, ticking clock or expletive-fueled rants of other cooking shows. 
“The word ‘compete’ we have to use very loosely, because I don’t want people to think that this is a competition show; it’s really not,” Simmons tells The Post.
Instead, the challenges are a way for the hosts to take on the hot trends in food right now — everything from the Cronut and mash-up craze in the premiere to food carts, the farm-to-table trend and artisanal foods in future episodes.
Shot completely in New York, “The Feed” takes the hosts to local hot spots, dining at the famed One if by Land, Two if by Sea restaurant, baking naan at the MasalaWala, butchering a pig at the Meat Hook and sourcing poutine ingredients at Murray’s Cheese Shop and Pommes Frites. 
Viewers will also get a look behind the scenes at Samuelsson’s Harlem restaurant Red Rooster, where he does all his cooking challenges (some dishes from the show even ended up on the Red Rooster menu — including a brunch egg dish inspired by one of Simmons’ creations).
“Filming in New York City was amazing because it brought so many different cultures and cuisines to the forefront,” Samuelsson says. “ ‘The Feed’ is about current and popular food trends, most of which started in New York, so it made perfect sense that the city would be our backdrop.”
But Simmons says the hope is that future seasons could see the hosts travel around the country, much like the UK car show “Top Gear,” on which “The Feed” is very loosely based.
“The fun of this show is you can take it anywhere and find great adventures along the way — it’s sort of about the road trip,” she says. “I’d love to get in the car with Marcus and Max and drive from here to Los Angeles and stop at 50 places along the route.”
Both Simmons and Samuelsson are TV food-show veterans — she as a judge on “Top Chef” for nine years and he on “Chopped” and “The Taste” — but say “The Feed” brings a more lighthearted feel to the genre.
“We probably spent an equal amount of time hanging out and joking around as we did cooking,” Samuelsson says. “The best part was we never had to kick anyone off the show! That’s always such a hard decision to make.”
