In the fourth episode of Kitchen Casino season 1, titled "House of Cards," four new contestants enter the Kitchen Casino arena to battle it out in three intense challenges for a chance to win up to $30,000.
The first round, called "Card Sharks," requires the contestants to draw a card and then create a dish featuring the ingredient pictured on their card. They have only 25 minutes to complete their dishes, which are then judged by host Bill Rancic and guest judges Iron Chef Cat Cora and celebrity chef Michael Psilakis. One contestant's dish will be deemed the weakest, and they will be eliminated from the competition.
The remaining three contestants move on to the second round, "Wheel of Heat." In this round, they spin a wheel to determine the type of cuisine they must create a dish in, such as Italian or Thai. They also spin to determine the cooking method they must use, such as grilling or baking. With only 30 minutes to cook their dishes, the pressure is on for the contestants to impress the judges with their culinary skills.
The final two contestants move on to the third and final round, "Poker Face." They are presented with a mystery box filled with ingredients they must use to create a dish. However, they are only allowed to use one hand in this round, making the cooking process even more challenging. The judges taste and evaluate both dishes, ultimately choosing one winner who will take home the grand prize.
Throughout the episode, viewers are also given a glimpse into the Kitchen Casino, a unique set that features a slot machine, a roulette table, and other casino-inspired elements. The Kitchen Casino adds an exciting and unpredictable element to the already intense cooking competition, making for an entertaining viewing experience.
"House of Cards" is a thrilling and suspenseful episode of Kitchen Casino that showcases the culinary talents of each contestant. With each round presenting new challenges and obstacles, viewers are sure to be on the edge of their seats rooting for their favorite chef.
