The culinary chaos continues on Cutthroat Kitchen: Knives Out this Tuesday at 9 PM ET on the Food Network, as host Brian Malarkey unleashes another round of devious challenges. In A Spoonful of Sabotage, four chefs must create the perfect sweet and savory entrée in just 30 minutes, but there’s a significant catch: the pantry is stocked with only savory ingredients.
This setup forces the chefs to get creative as they scramble for a source of sweetness. Their only hope comes from a conveyor belt dispensing a variety of sugary items, turning the kitchen into a high-stakes game of chance. Each chef starts with $25,000, which they can use to bid on sabotages for their rivals or advantages for themselves.
The episode hinges on the contestants’ ability to balance flavors while contending with the outlandish obstacles thrown their way. Judge Aarti Sequeira has the difficult task of determining which chef creates the most balanced and delicious dish, despite the wild-card ingredients and strategic backstabbing. In this kitchen, a sharp mind is just as important as a sharp knife, and the last chef standing keeps whatever money they have left.
