Michael’s Top-Secret Skill (No Kitchen Required)

Posted by

Sure, Michael Psilakis is a celebrated New York City restaurateur – but he has a secret from his past. Find out what cultural group he participated with as a kid – in traditional garb, no less!

Watch him show off a few steps in the world premiere of BBC America’s all new original unscripted adventure-cooking-competition series NO KITCHEN REQUIRED *** Tuesday Apr 3 at 10/9c *** only on BBC America. Immediately following a new episode of Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares at 9/8c.

NO KITCHEN REQUIRED, from the creators of Chopped, follows three chefs as they 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.
