Terry Crews—actor, host, and former NFL star—welcomes 100 of America’s finest home cooks to a massive stadium kitchen for the ultimate cooking showdown. Contestants are chosen at random to face off, with the "Challenge Mixer" throwing everything from rapid-fire trivia to intense 30-minute cook-offs their way. Judges Nick DiGiovanni and Alex Guarnaschelli decide who stays and who leaves. Each round’s winner can pocket the cash or add it to the growing grand prize pot, starting at $100,000. As the number of cooks shrinks, the prize money swells.
