Say hello 'Pressure Cooker,' the latest cooking competition show! It's a mash-up of 'Top Chef' and 'Big Brother,' with a splash of 'The Circle’s' chaos thrown in for good measure.
Pressure Cooker
invites 11 professional chefs to battle it out for a $100,000 cash prize, while also cohabitating with their competition. There is no host, and there are no judges; instead, these chefs are here to judge one another across eight 45-minute episodes. No pressure! Some facets of this concept are innovative, and others feel like thinly veiled cost-savers. Why pay a host, for instance, when you can swap in a ticket printer with instructions instead?
One could say the same about asking contestants to work double duty and rank one another’s food, but that little twist actually does produce some zesty gamesmanship. In fact, the degree to which one enjoysmight be directly proportional to your interest in one or the other side of its equation. Those hoping to slurp down a deliciously messy competition will likely leave satisfied, but anyone who comes to this show for the cooking might just wind up writing a nasty Yelp review.
