In Cutthroat Kitchen: Knives Out, hosted by Brian Malarkey, four chefs each start with $25,000 and face off in a high-stakes cooking competition where strategy is just as important as skill. Along the way, they can spend their cash to gain advantages—or sabotage their rivals. From stolen ingredients to destroyed utensils and wasted time, no tactic is too ruthless. In the end, only one chef will outcook and outsmart the rest to keep whatever money they have left.
