Before the world premiere of BBC America’s all new original adventure-cooking-competition show NO KITCHEN REQUIRED on *** Tuesday Apr 3 at 10/9c ***, the three master chefs squared off in the urban jungle of NYC for their toughest cook-off yet!
In the big live New York culinary battle, co-hosted by Dr. Shini Somara (host of No Kitchen Required), each chef faced the challenge of preparing dishes using native NYC ingredients – including crow, squirrel and hare – in front of spectators on a New York City inspired stage for New York City natives… and in only 30 minutes!
Was it enough to impress the judges – who included two-time Super Bowl champion offensive lineman for the New York Giants DAVID DIEHL; Digital Strategist and Co-founder of “Foodspotting” SORAYA DARABI; and InStyle Magazine’s Fashion Director HAL RUBENSTEIN? And who won? As Chef Madison Cowan says, “it’s survival of the fittest!”
From the creators of Chopped, NO KITCHEN REQUIRED follows three chefs as they are dropped into the most exotic and remote places on earth where they will work with the locals to hunt, fish and forage for ingredients to create a locally-inspired meal that will be judged by the community.
The three fearless chefs are:
* Award-winning New York restaurateur Michael Psilakis;
* First-ever Chopped Grand Champion Madison Cowan, who has roots in London, Detroit and Jamaica
and
* New Zealand chef Kayne Raymond.
The trio leave the comforts of their kitchens and are dropped into ten locations around the world including Belize, Dominica, New Zealand, Fiji, Chiang Mai, Thailand, Phuket, Thailand, Hawaii, New Mexico, Louisiana and Florida.
The series is hosted by British presenter Dr. Shini Somara (BBC’s One Show, BBC World News’ The Health Show) – who joins the chefs on the adventure.
