For someone whose best meal is cereal, I tend to watch a lot of Food Network (it at least makes me feel like I know how to cook). Because of this, I have seen countless competitions, weekly shows, and even a cooking talk show or two. However, I have never seen anything like Food Network’s newest hit, Cutthroat Kitchen. Made to both educate and entertain while getting a good laugh, this show is certainly one to put on your agenda.

Cutthroat Kitchen’s base includes all of the fun of a regular cooking competition show. Four chefs compete in three rounds of baking for up to $25,000, with one chef being eliminated by a judge after each round. However, the excitement of this show comes with the addition of sabotages, which are auctioned off by the host to the chefs and given to their competitors, changing for every round. The winning chef only gets to keep the money they have left at the end of the show, so Cutthroat Kitchen also has a layer of strategy to it, making it even more unique. This combination of great cooking and hilarity creates a truly evil way for the host to challenge chefs who dare take on his kitchen.

Recently, the show celebrated its first ‘Evilicious Tournament’, a reunion of the 16 most evil chefs to ever compete. The chefs competed in four heats and sent their champions to the finale, where the money they were able to win was doubled. This increase in money and sheer diabolical talent allowed the host to present more difficult sabotages to the contestants, creating more struggles for the chefs and more entertainment at home.

For friends and family, people of all ages, and chefs and cereal makers alike, Cutthroat Kitchen guarantees giggles and promises loads of wicked fun every Sunday night. Such a cooking extravaganza is one you have to see to believe!
