Think you can handle the heat? Food Network’s “24 in 24: Last Chef Standing” returns for a supersized second season this Sunday, and it’s bringing a whole new level of culinary intensity. Twenty-four chefs. Twenty-four challenges. Twenty-four continuous hours. This isn’t just a cooking competition; it’s a culinary marathon designed to push these cooks to their absolute limits.
Hosts Michael Symon and Esther Choi welcome the competitors, while expert judge Antonia Lofaso evaluates their performance in the first shift, a speed challenge that will set the tone for the relentless hours ahead. Subsequent trials will test simplicity, resourcefulness, artistry, adaptability, teamwork, risk-taking, and elevation. And just to keep things interesting, a golden knife will be introduced, bringing unexpected twists and turns.
Who has the stamina, the skill, and the sheer willpower to emerge victorious? Tune in to Food Network on Sunday, April 27th at 8:00 PM ET to witness the start of this grueling culinary showdown. With a $50,000 prize and a trip of a lifetime on the line, the competition to be the last chef standing is about to begin.
