Series information and premise
This cooking competition with elements of sabotage titled Cutthroat Kitchen has been on the air since 2013 and has launched its fifteenth season last November, 2016. The show’s executive produced by Shauna Minoprio, Julia Cassidy, Melissa Stokes and Michael Davies, and hails from Embassy Row. Regular judges for the current season are Jet Tila, Simon Majundar, Antonia Lofasso and Richard Biais.
The show follows an already familiar format with four chefs and three rounds of elimination-based competition. Besides straightforward cooking challenges host Alton Brown offers chefs opportunities to sabotage other contestants, holding an auction for the highest bidder for a chance to walk away with items like changes in ingredients and equipment, garnishing of cooking time and movement restrictions. Judges make a decision based solely on taste, presentation and on whether the task was completed properly and the dish is in fact the one required.
Overall ratings and a potential season 16
Since the show has been running, an impressive 178 episodes over 15 seasons have been filmed for Cutthroat Kitchen. And with an overall rating of 7.1 out of 10 stars on IMDb and 7.4 out of 10 on TV.com one could assume that the show is still very strong and should have long been renewed for a 16th installment. However, after the second episode of Cutthroat Kitchen, the series somehow disappeared from our TV screens and the only information out there is a Twitter post by the great Alton Brown himself, as he announces to take a break from Cutthroat Kitchen – in a Microwave no less.
So far, neither Alton nor the Food Network have mentioned anything with regards to a cancellation or renewal of this long running show. At this point it go either way. We will just have to wait and see what will happen in the future. Until then, stay tuned and we will update you as soon as we get to hear more.
