Plot Synopsis

Hosted by Bill Rancic, KITCHEN CASINO pits four chefs against each other, as they try to avoid elimination and win the $30,000 prize by surviving three casino-themed culinary challenges that test their skill, speed and adaptability. Round one features a slot machine, as the chefs take a spin and reveal three categories -- cuisine, ingredient and theme -- which must inspire their dish for the 30-minute round. In round two, the remaining three cheftestants have 40 minutes to prepare a dish using the same assigned protein from the previous round -- but with a game changing twist. During this round the kitchen stations spin like a roulette wheel leaving the chefs in front of a new station to continue cooking. The wheel turns unexpectedly and the chefs are judged by the dish that ends up in front of them at the end of the round. The final round is a game of Chef Poker. The remaining two contestants try their hand at incorporating an ingredient into their dish depending on the card they are dealt. Each one-hour episode of KITCHEN CASINO features a panel of rotating judges including Michael Chernow, Madison Cowan, Danyelle Freedman, Gavin Kaysen, Aliya Leekong and Kristin Sollenne.
