CBS announced the judges for its all-new cooking competition series, America’s Culinary Cup. The series is set to premiere on Wednesday, March 4 (9:30-11:00 PM, ET/PT).
Acclaimed chefs Michael Cimarusti and Wylie Dufresne will join Padma Lakshmi as judges on the new cooking competition series.
Chefs will be tested against the competition’s 10 culinary commandments. These include meat, vegetables, sauces, dessert, innovation, and flavors. They also encompass sustainability, world cuisine, consistency, culinary science, and technology. These are the very principles that define greatness in the kitchen. Cimarusti and Dufresne bring their unique perspectives to evaluate taste, creativity, presentation, and technique. They determine who advances and who is eliminated. They also decide who ultimately masters the commandments. The winner will claim AMERICA’S CULINARY CUP and the biggest cash prize in culinary history – $1 million. Additional guest judges and chefs will be announced soon.
