The all-new one-hour cooking competition series puts 16 culinary
competitors - pro chefs to home cooks - to the fire when four of the
world's most notable masters of the food world judge their creations
based on a blind taste test. In the pressure-packed competition series,
the taste in a single spoonful can catapult a contender to the top, or
send them packing. THE TASTE features four culinary superstars including no-holds barred chef
Anthony Bourdain, British food star Nigella Lawson, expert chef and
author Ludo Lefebvre, and chef/restaurateur Brian Malarkey as THE TASTE mentors.
Each of the famed culinary experts coach a team of four amateur and
professional cooks, facing a variety of team and individual challenges,
and elimination rounds. At the end of each episode, the mentors judge
the competitors' dishes blind, with no knowledge of whose creation
they're sampling, what they're eating, how it was prepared, or whom
they could be sending home.
In the series premiere, "Auditions Part 1," the pressure is on when
Anthony Bourdain, Nigella Lawson, Ludovic Lefebvre, and Brian Malarkey
put 29 professional chefs and home cooks through their first gruelling
round of blind taste tests - in which just a single spoonful decides
whether or not they make it past the audition phase and into the
competition.
Created by Kinetic Content, Red Arrow's U.S. production company, THE TASTE is executive-produced by Chris Coelen, Matilda Zoltowski, Emma Conway,
Anthony Bourdain, and Nigella Lawson.
