Cook at all Costs

In this kitchen contest, home cooks bid on ingredients to create dishes that will impress celebrity guest judges — and win the cash left in their bank.

Do luxury ingredients always make the best dishes?

Or can humble items be transformed into a recipe for success?

Hosted by chef and restaurateur Jordan Andino, Cook at All Costs is a cooking competition where skill meets strategy, as three home cooks put their money where their mouths are to bid on ingredients in a high-stakes, auction-packed cook off.

With $25,000 in their banks, the homecooks will have to decide if they want to bid big for the best ingredients, save their money for the basics, or gamble on a surprise.

In the end, the cook who best impresses the celebrity guest chef will win all the money left in their bank.

Can the thrifty dish topple the pricey plate or will the wildcard wow the guest judge for the win?
