The Food Network is all set to air a new cooking competition, Outchef’d, which is sure to leave home cooks surprised.
Season 1 of Outchef’d will premiere on September 27, 2022 at 10 pm ET/PT. It will feature 10 acclaimed and intimidating world-class chefs in a one-round cookoff against unsuspecting home cooks.
Outchef’d will be hosted by former NFL player and chef Eddie Jackson. The star chefs competing on Outchef’d are Maneet Chauhan, Scott Conant, Eric Adjepong, Anne Burrell, Geoffrey Zakarian, Alex Guarnaschelli, Antonia Lofaso, Tiffani Faison, Amanda Freitag, and Marc Murphy.
The synopsis of the new season of Outchef’d reads:
"These home cooks excel in their own kitchens, but do they have what it takes to succeed against an elite pro under the lights and cameras of a culinary battle.”
The show will have star chefs and homecooks preparing a dish with a "star" ingredien." Their dishes will be judged by a panel of six regular people that the host has picked from the streets. The home cook will only need one vote from a panel of random tasters to walk away with the $5,000 prize.
