I was recently on Cutthroat Kitchen (Nov 2014). If you are not familiar with the show Cutthroat Kitchen is a reality competitive cooking competition on the Food Network. There are four chefs that compete to win. When you first arrive to the kitchen Alton Brown provides each of us with $25K to use to purchase sabotages and what you have left (if any) goes to the winner. Alton Brown announces sabotages during each round and you can buy them then give them to any one or all competitors.
First let me talk about the casting process. I received a call from a casting associate asking me if I was interested in being on the show. She apparently found my profile on Chefs Roll. I immediately said; “no way”. I watch that show and the sabotages are crazy! Then she asked again and I thought why not! I am a competitive person and it will be fun!
