Wildcard Kitchen, April 23, 2024, Food Network, “Friends in High-Stakes Places”
In this episode of Wildcard Kitchen, Eric Adjepong welcomes Top Chef veterans Stephanie Izard, Joe Sasto, and Justin Sutherland to his high-stakes culinary card game. The chefs put their money where their mouths are, each bringing $5,000 to the table for a night of intense competition and unpredictable challenges.
The friends and veteran chefs face off in Adjepong’s underground culinary poker game, where the dealt cards determine the dishes they must create. The pressure is on as they cook with their own money on the line, and the wildcard element adds an extra layer of excitement and unpredictability to the competition.
The chefs must create noodle and sardine dishes to impress the guest judges, Anne Burrell, Esther Choi, and Scott Conant, who will determine the winner through a blind taste test. The stakes are high, and the competition is fierce as one chef will walk away with their buddies’ cold, hard cash.
Wildcard Kitchen offers a unique twist on culinary competitions, combining the thrill of poker with the creativity of cooking, as chefs navigate their way through a game within a game.
Wildcard Kitchen airs on Food Network at 9:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 23, 2024.
