When Does ‘Cutthroat Kitchen’ Season 16 Start on Food Network? Release Date & News

What Is Cutthroat Kitchen About?

Cutthroat Kitchen is an American cooking show hosted by Alton Brown that aired on the Food Network from August 11, 2013 to July 19, 2017.

Each episode features four chefs competing in a three-round elimination contest. Brown gives each chef $25,000 cash before the first round; for insurance reasons, prop money is used instead of actual currency. The chefs each have their own stations to prepare and cook food, and the kitchen includes a wide range of other tools and equipment as well as a pantry stocked with ingredients.

The chef whose dish is judged the least satisfactory is eliminated from the game and forfeits all of their remaining money. After the final round, the surviving chef keeps whatever money they have not spent on auction items. Two episodes have ended in a tie, with both chefs keeping their remaining money.

The host invites a celebrity guest to judge the dishes made by chefs who compete against each other under duress caused by the host himself.

It features four chefs competing in a three-round elimination cooking competition. The contestants face auctions in which they can purchase opportunities to sabotage one another. Each chef is given $25,000 at the start of the show; the person left standing keeps whatever money they have not spent in the auctions.

The show ended on its 15th season in July 2017

Judges: Simon Majumdar, Antonia Lofaso, Jet Tila, Richard Blais

The last episode of the series was released on September 22, 2019 in the US.
