This season is judged and produced by Chef Venkatesh Bhat, supported by Binny Krishnakumar and hosted by Rakesh.[1] The season airs every Sunday.[2][3]
Format[edit]
The cooks are paired up with a "Dupe Cooku" who has limited knowledge about culinary skills and must do a cooking challenge each week in a pre-recorded show that airs Sunday. The judges rate each of the dishes they cook, and the cooks are then ranked according to these results. A cook who performs well with their dishes will enter a "golden table kitchen" where earn certain advantages.
At the start of each episode the cooks will be given two boxes, with one box having a card saying elimination episode while the other box will have say no elimination episode. The cooks will have to come up with an agreement and all of the cooks must select the box they feel has no elimination. If the cooks select the box with the no elimination card there will be no elimination but if the cooks select the box with elimination there will be a elimination cook-off that week.[4]
