Cutthroat Kitchen
On Food Network
A high-energy competitive cooking show built on sabotage and chaos, where the format's anarchic rules and Alton Brown's mischievous hosting create sustained playfulness despite genuine competitive stakes.
Just how far is a chef willing to go to win a cooking competition? Cutthroat Kitchen hands four chefs each $25,000 and the opportunity to spend that money on helping themselves or sabotaging their competitors. Ingredients will be thieved, utensils destroyed and valuable time on the clock lost when the chefs compete to cook delicious dishes while also having to outplot the competition. With Alton Brown as the devilish provocateur, nothing is out of bounds when money changes hands and we see just how far chefs will go to ensure they have the winning dish.
