Cutthroat Kitchen is a cooking competition show on Food Network starring Alton Brown as the host alongside judges Simon Majumdar and Jet Tila. The show premiered in 2013 and has since gained a large following due to its unique concept of sabotage. Each episode, four chefs compete against each other in a series of cooking challenges with the chance to win up to $25,000. However, the game is not as simple as just cooking the best dish. Before the challenges begin, the contestants participate in an auction where they can use their winnings to bid on sabotages to hinder their opponents.

The sabotages range from simple distractions, such as forcing a chef to wear a swim cap while cooking, to more complex challenges, like giving a chef only a toaster to cook an entire meal. These sabotages can be used strategically to help a contestant gain an edge or to crush the competition.

Throughout the show, Alton Brown offers commentary on the process and provides insight into the strategies that the chefs are using. He also offers a comedic commentary on the sabotages that the contestants are forced to endure.

The judges, Simon Majumdar and Jet Tila, taste each dish and offer critiques based on taste and presentation. They also judge the chefs' ability to overcome the sabotages and create a successful dish despite the added challenges.

One of the unique aspects of Cutthroat Kitchen is the variety of challenges that the chefs face. The range of ingredients and cooking styles tested ensures that the show remains dynamic and engaging. One week, contestants may be challenged to create a dish using only canned foods, while the next week they may be asked to create a fine dining experience using leftovers.

The show also incorporates elements of drama and surprise in each episode. The sabotages are always unpredictable, and the contestants must think on their feet to overcome the unexpected challenges. Additionally, the judges can also surprise the contestants by revealing additional twists to the competition, further adding to the suspense.

Cutthroat Kitchen has become a fan-favorite due to its combination of humor, drama, and culinary expertise. It showcases the skill of each contestant while also challenging them to adapt to unexpected circumstances. The show's unique concept of sabotage sets it apart from other cooking competitions and keeps viewers coming back for more.

Cutthroat Kitchen: Alton's Best Sabotages is a series that is currently running and has 2 seasons (9 episodes). The series first aired on April 27, 2014.
