Things are about to get messy in the kitchen on Worst Cooks in America. In “Reality Stars on Mars,” airing Sunday, February 2 on Food Network, a new batch of celebrity recruits faces a culinary challenge that’s out of this world (or at least out of their comfort zones): squid ink seafood pasta.
Chefs Jeff Mauro and Antonia Lofaso return to guide these kitchen klutzes through the intricacies of cooking, but patience will likely wear thin as the recruits grapple with a scavenger hunt for ingredients before even attempting the daunting pasta dish. The two lowest-performing recruits will then face a blind taste test involving fresh pasta and sauce, a high-stakes challenge that could send them packing.
This season of Worst Cooks brings a unique dynamic with its reality TV star lineup. These personalities, accustomed to the spotlight, now find themselves exposed in a whole new way – through their lack of culinary skills.
Worst Cooks in America airs Sundays at 9/8c on Food Network.
