TORONTO, July 30, 2015 /CNW/ - Listen up! This Fall
on Food Network Canada, culinary masters are pairing with
clueless cooks to see who can create the best restaurant quality
dishes in the new original Canadian series Chef in Your
Ear, premiering August 31
at 10pm ET/PT.
"Shaw Media is proud to bring this original series, with a new,
unprecedented competition format to Food Network Canada," said
Christine Shipton, Senior Vice
President and Chief Creative Officer, Shaw Media. "Chef in
Your Ear serves up some delicious fun as professional chefs and
kitchen rookies are taken out of their comfort zones. We know our
viewers love this kind of high stakes, high energy
competition."
In this thrilling culinary competition, two of the country's
hottest chefs face off to see who can get a completely
clueless cook to create the best restaurant quality dish
in only one hour. The catch? The chefs never step foot in the
kitchen. Isolated in a remote booth, each chef watches their cook
on a monitor, guiding them step-by-step through an earpiece.
The final plates are judged and the winning chef determines the
losing chef's punishment. It's ego against ego and dish against
dish in Chef In Your Ear!
The series is hosted by Second City funnyman Greg Komorowski and features Canadian chefs
Jordan Andino (Harlow
Sag Harbor, Kourtney & Khloé Take The
Hamptons), Devin Connell (Delica Kitchen), Craig Harding (Campagnolo), Rob Rossi (Bestellen, Top Chef
Canada Season 1), and Cory
Vitiello (The Harbord Room, THR & Co. and
Flock).
"The transformation that each wannabe cook goes through, with
the help of our esteemed chefs, is an amazing experience to watch,"
said Greg Komorowski, host of
Chef in Your Ear. "I wish I could say that it was the most
gratifying part of my job but really, getting to eat the final
product was!"
Episode 1 "The Big Bang"
August 31 at 10pm
ET/PT
It's time for Chef Cory to face the music with
Rosemary, a classical violinist who screams her way through stress.
Chef Rob must dig deep to get Nick, a toymaker and child at
heart, not to think of the kitchen as his new playground.
Episode 2 "When Pigs Fly"
September 7 at 10pm
ET/PT
Hearts pound and mallets fly as Chefs Devin
and Craig try to create their takes on a traditional European pork
dish. Chef Devin must manage an IT consultant who once left
chicken fingers in his oven for two weeks, while Chef Craig trains
a world class athlete whose friends and family can't eat her
cooking.
