Contestants in this cooking competition present their dishes to a judges’ panel composed of America’s Test Kitchen icons throughout a series of challenges that test their culinary abilities and on-camera personality. The last cook standing will get the job of a lifetime—becoming the newest face of America’s Test Kitchen, the opportunity to write their own cookbook, and a $100,000 prize to fund the culinary business of their dreams.
Host Jeannie Mai and head judge Dan Souza return to mentor and guide 11 aspiring cooks as they compete for the job of a lifetime. In the end, one cook will become the newest ATK cast member, receive an option for a cookbook, and win $100,000. Who has what it takes?
