Things are about to get spicy in Wildcard Kitchen. On Tuesday, February 11th at 9 PM on Food Network, Chef Antonia Lofaso steps into the ring with fellow restaurateurs Ayesha Nurdjaja and Claudette Zepeda for a high-stakes culinary poker match hosted by Eric Adjepong. In “Clash of the Restaurant Queens,” loyalties will be tested, and kitchen knives might be sharpened metaphorically, of course.
The format of Wildcard Kitchen itself adds a touch of unpredictability, with mystery guest judges and challenges that could range from recreating a classic dish with limited ingredients to inventing a brand-new culinary creation inspired by a random object. This episode brings a new level of intensity with the all-star lineup. These aren’t just competent cooks; they’re established chefs with reputations to uphold.
While culinary competition shows are a dime a dozen, Wildcard Kitchen attempts to distinguish itself with its poker-inspired twist. Each chef starts with a set of chips they can use to bet on advantages or sabotage their competitors.
Wildcard Kitchen airs Tuesdays at 9 PM on Food Network.
