NEW YORK, Oct. 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Host
Curtis Stone turns up the
heat in new Food Network primetime culinary competition, Kitchen
Inferno, premiering Wednesday, November
5th at 10pm ET/PT.
The game is simple but the stakes are red hot. Each episode
features talented chefs going head-to-head in culinary showdowns
over four possible rounds. Each round will have a blind taste-test
judged by the Inferno's panel of judges to determine which dish is
best. If the competing chef is victorious, they have the chance to
move up to the next level, with each round advancement growing in
difficulty as they bring the skills of a new culinary talent to
battle against. The contestants also face a pivotal choice: take
the money and run, or risk it all for a chance to reach the final
round and win up to $25,000, all in
front of a studio audience. If they lose, they will watch their
winnings go up in smoke and leave with nothing. Can these
chefs cook their way through four rounds in this blazing
competition for the ultimate prize?
