What is America’s Culinary Cup About
“America’s Culinary Cup,” from Padma Lakshmi (“Top Chef,” “Taste the Nation”) features an invitation-only lineup of America’s most elite chefs to compete in the ultimate culinary arena, with chefs Michael Cimarusti and Wylie Dufresne serving as judges. Sixteen chefs will be tested against the competition’s 10 culinary commandments – meat, vegetables, sauces, dessert, innovation, flavors, sustainability, world cuisine, consistency, culinary science and technology – the very principles that define greatness in the kitchen. Cimarusti and Dufresne bring their unique perspectives to evaluate taste, creativity, presentation and technique, determining who advances, who is eliminated and who ultimately masters the commandments to win AMERICA’S CULINARY CUP and claim the biggest cash prize in culinary history – $1 million dollars.
