Kitchen Crash
Channel: Food Network (DStv 175)
TX Time: 19h55
Genre: Food, Reality Competition, Reality
Host Jeff Mauro brings all the pressure and heat of culinary competitions to the suburban streets on Kitchen Crash.
On each of the six episodes, professional chefs head to a local neighbourhood block for an outdoor cook-off.
With only 10 minutes on the clock, each chef must convince a local homeowner on the cul-de-sac to hand over ingredients from their kitchens and pantries, with the caveat that the competing chefs can only use the items that the homeowners can fit into one bin.
With no additional pantry items and no option to restock, the chefs must ration what they are given for the entire competition.
The chef that can make the most delicious dishes using only the ingredients in the average American kitchen will earn a cash prize to split with the family who provided the ingredients.
Making the competition even tougher, the chefs must cook curbside as their skills are tested in challenges from Tex-Mex meals, to festival fare, to meat lover's breakfasts, and more, while the neighbourhood watches.
Jeff Mauro along with one special guest judge - including Matt Abdoo, Leah Cohen, Eddie Jackson, Nilou Motamed, Christian Petroni and Marcus Samuelsson - will decide who crushed the competition.
In the end, one winning chef will split a $10,000 cash prize with their host family.
In the series premiere, "Rise And Shine Austin!": Jeff challenges three chefs to find families in the suburbs of Austin, Texas, who are willing to share ingredients for a cook-off on their street.
