18 ENTERTAINMENT EXTRA Royal Center Locker Plant 1 x 9" By Caroline Collacutt TV Media T he out-of-the-box, out-of- the-ordinary cooking com- petition, "Secret Chef," pits chef against chef in a blind taste-test-off when it premieres Thursday, June 29, on Hulu. From executive producer David Chang ("Ugly Delicious") — himself a renowned chef and restauranteur, having founded the Momofoku restau- rant chain — this new, "sly" twist on the cooking competi- tion genre asks 10 chefs, rang- ing in skill and specialty from professionals to home cooks and social media influencers, to perform in a range of cooking challenges, all performed from the depths of a kitchen unlike any other. The show, as complex as it is straightforward, isolates its competitors in a secret laby- rinth of secluded, underground kitchens, connected only by an ongoing conveyor belt. Each chef gets a kitchen of their own, not knowing who inhab- its the other nine. With no guidance from any hosts, men- tors or fellow chefs, each con- tender has only one source for instructions: a mischievous, animated chef's hat, which appears on screen to task the chefs with increasingly com- plex cooking challenges. They must rely solely on themselves as they chop, blend and sauté towards the finish line, when their dishes disappear, whisked away on a conveyor belt. But it doesn't stop there. In another subversion of tradi- tional cooking competitions, this show features no judges – at least, not exactly. At the end of the competition, the chefs will partake in a series of blind taste tests, experiencing each other's creations firsthand as the conveyor belt moves along – all without knowing the com- petitor behind the dish. They must rate the presented plates based on food alone, with no knowledge of whether it was prepared by an all-star chef or a hobbyist cook. Only once a winner has been chosen will identities be revealed and the labyrinth unlocked. Produced by Dave O'Connor ("Abstract: The Art of Design"), food writer Chris Ying and Christopher C. Chen ("Ugly Delicious") of Majordomo Media, along with Vox Media Studios and Wheelhouse's Spoke Studios, and helmed by showrunner Patrick J. Doody ("Nailed It!"), this unique new cooking show puts food and flavor above all else, upending expectations of chefs and view- ers alike when it premieres Thursday, June 29, on Hulu.
